Sunset - Lake of the Woods (OR)

Lake of the Woods and Sunset campground are my happy place. Love everything about it. What I truly dislike is the recreation.gov website and the fact that I have to "fight" 6 months ahead of my trip to get a reservation site. I am on as soon as they open, 6 am my time, and hit the button right on time. I rarely if ever get the site or dates I want. I know camping has become popular but something has to be done on the website to make it fair.

We camped at the Sunset Campground, we stay there a couple of times a year, we really like the campground, the hosts & being able to put our chairs on the boundry of the lake & watch all the activity on the lake!!! Hoping someday they will add a shower!!!

Sunset was a really nice clean camp which had plenty of sites capable of parking our 35 ft 5th wheel and Dodge 3500 Truck and accomidated the road clearance needed when backing in. The sites are spaced out very well.
However there are no dump facilities at Sunset, even for Gray water despite the rest rooms having sewer. While visiting the Aspen campground (which does have a dump station) I inadvertently drove over a short post I could not see and destroyed my steering stabilizer. It was near the information kiosk. I was looking at the sign and rolled forward a bit. I strongly recommend that if guide posts are installed for any reason they meet bumper height requirement of 16 to 20 inches, or be curb height. In front of the sign they serve no purpose.

it was awesome very quiet. had not been there in a very long time .look forward to my trip.

The campground is clean, the lakeshore is gorgeous, and the bathrooms are pretty well maintained/stocked. There is a pretty intense issue with yellow jackets, but that's not really fault of the people running the campsites - it's the outdoors! Campers definitely let their dogs run. And bark. But overall the staff was really nice. Not my favorite campground just for camping, but would be well worthwhile if you plan on getting out on the lake.

I was very upset to get there and find out that we weren't allowed to have a campfire. It's a good thing we had a small propane stove with us. It would have been nice if the website had warned us before we got there, because if I had known I probably would have canceled the reservation. I don't understand why we couldn't have a small contained fire in their designated fire pits. That's my favorite part of camping. Also the people next to us had a dog that got loose and came to our side and started growling at us. It would be a lot nicer place without barking and aggressive dogs.

The campsite was quiet and clean. Music at the Resort on Sat night. Had a Reuban and hamburger there and both were very good. Love the walk from the campground to the resort.

Great spot! Loop A is great and right near the lake. Camping spots are huge and bathrooms are super nice. The only downside was that the spots are not very private as trees are somewhat sparse and sound travels well.

Beautiful weather, clean campsite and friendy hosts.

I love Lake of the Woods and twice this summer I have been able to pick up camp spots at the last minute. I appreciate some people can plan months in advance, but we were able to go with young children and the lake was like glass. What a magical place.
