Clean, quite, but very busy campground. Great mountain biking and lovely lake. Please keep soaps, etc. away from the lake edge. The nitrates from our products allow moss to grow in this lake and the change over the last few years is noticeable!

My family and I love the Oregon woods. I'm so grateful that we have access to such beautiful places near our home. For the last 15 years (before kids and now with our children) we have spent one full week at Waldo Lake at Islet Campground. It is an amazing experience that my family will treasure for years to come. The many different companies that have managed the campground over the years have been great. Campground is clean safe and fun for my family.

We have camped at Islet almost every year for over a decade. Since the campground has been taking reservations it has changed. Islet used to be a relatively quiet campground filled with uncommon people. Now there are large RV's, and larger groups of people. I have to book reservations as soon as they open in February to hit that sweet spot in August when the mosquitoes don't eat you alive. Three years ago a family reunion inflated a plastic island that floated in the lagoon all week. Waldo Lake is a pristine wilderness that deserves more respect.
My recommendations: Limit the group size to 8, or even stop taking reservations at Islet. There are multiple campgrounds (including North Waldo and Shadow Bay) on hundreds of lakes in the Cascades that can accommodate large groups. If people choose to come to Waldo Lake, please educate them regarding the unique qualities of this environment.

The lake is amazing, so plan on bringing a human powered way to check it out. There are also many trails in the area so bring your hiking boots!

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
