Thielsen View Campground offers a beautiful and well-maintained setting with spacious sites and stunning views of the lake and Mt. Thielsen. Campers appreciate the clean facilities, helpful hosts, and quiet atmosphere, making it a great spot for relaxation and outdoor activities, including hiking and boating. Some guests suggested improvements for restrooms and expressed challenges with the reservation process, but overall, the campground is highly regarded and often revisited.

Camp host was awesome and it’s a great area but we won’t be back. We could barely stand to be outside due to the mosquitoes. We had no idea they would be so bad. I counted 30 welts on my legs and I had long pants on. Our dog got bit too and had three bumps on her face. We had all the mosquito repellents activated as well. If you go, make sure to bring a mosquito net!

my favorite place in the cascades, noticed a lot of empty camp sites with reserved signs.

The Good: Excellent location with a great view of Mt. Thielsen and incredible proximity to Diamond Lake. Very well maintained campground with easy to navigate routes, a fair a mount of trench bathrooms, and plenty of shade from the trees. The campsites are well spaced and allow for interaction with neighbors while still maintaining your privacy. Each campsite could easily accommodate up to three tents.
The Bad: Mosquitos, mosquitos, mosquitos!!! The amount of insects and mosquitos specifically is almost unbearable. Myself and my partner were littered with bites even after using the strongest repellent (98.11% Deet) that we could buy. There are also an innumerable amount of gnats. The site lacks showers facilities as well.
Verdict: I would choose Diamond Lake or Broken Arrow campground if I were to return to this area.

We have utilized this (once) beautiful campground many times over the years. Our past trip (August 2024) was a real disappointment. Trees had been cut down or had fallen with very little cleanup at the lakeside. We kayak, bike, and hike and the shoreline provided very little access to the campground due to the trees left. Hopefully next year when we visit, there will be much clean up done. In addition, we thought we were lucky to find a camp spot in August and quickly reserved it, but when we got there, about 80% of the park was empty through the entire summer weekend with reserve signs at each and no occupants. Why can't this system be improved? We could have had any other campsite because they are not updated from the online environment. A new system for cancelations is definitely needed.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
