Islet Campground

Beautiful lake, but there were too many people and cars.

We have been camping at Waldo lake since the early 80s. We always enjoy our time at the lake however, as the lake has become more popular it seems that the care of the restrooms is not always up to par. Last year was an anomaly. The host always made sure the bathrooms had toilet paper and they were always clean. We also saw her everyday checking the sites. She was an excellent campground host. Not true this year. There was no toilet paper in the restroom closest to the lake . Also no toilet paper in the upper restroom. The restrooms were also dirty. We went by the host campsite and there was no one there. We never saw the camp ground host for two days. For two days there is no toilet paper in the bathrooms and they were not clean. When we left on Friday the bathroom still had not been cleaned and the toilet paper was dwindling. When you pay $24-$44 for a campsite you expect the bathrooms to contain toilet paper and be clean. Especially during this time of COVID-19 they should be cleaned every day. Also the garbage bins were absolutely overflowing and we understand that is Wilderness garbage schedule but maybe that needs to be changed especially after a weekend. We still love Waldo but more attention needs to be payed to the care and cleanliness of the facility.

Our reserved lakeside site was occupied when we arrived by someone who said they also had a reservation for the same site. The campground host was nowhere to be found until evening. Lucky for us there was a first come first served lakeside site available. The host this year is TERRIBLE. We have been coming to this campground for 14 years. Each year since reservations became available at this campground the quality of our experience has gone down. Large groups and enormous RVs surrounded us this year. Also, very glad we brought our own water - I saw one woman brushing her teeth and putting her mouth up to the water spigot to rinse and several teenage girls washing their legs and feet at the spigot. Bad behavior, particularly in the midst of a pandemic. If you want party central, go to North Waldo or Shadow Bay.

We loved our stay here! Our site was so pretty and large - we had lots of room to spread out. We also liked that the campground offered a bottle drop. We were happy to donate our empty cans and bottles to a good cause. Also the boat launch is very well maintained. Our only complaint is the mosquitoes but they are to be expected in the wilderness.

We'll be back for sure!
