Would have rated this higher if the mosquitoes weren’t so aggressive this year! Come prepared for lots of bug bites! But the water was what we came here for. Paddle boarding was amazing. Would highly recommend this campground and Waldo lake!

Positives: We absolutely loved the lake. It was breath taking. We moved from Lake Tahoe and this is closest we have found to compare to the clear beautiful water from home. We will be going back as often as possible.
*Bathrooms were immaculate! Cleanest vault toilets I have ever seen. Just make sure to take light at night, they are super dark, even during the day they are quite dim.
Negatives: CAMP host didn't seem very welcoming. My advice, "buy your firewood before you go."
*The water faucet next to our camp site 48 was broken and we had to walk quite a ways to get water.
* Last***MOSQUITOS*** Take plenty of high deet bug spray. Also lots of camp site repellents like candles, incense, bug zapper, ect. Worst mosquito problem we ever dealt with camping. We thought we were prepared. We ended up driving down to get more mosquito repelling supplies.
Overall good experience and will definitely go again. Next time with way more deet and citronella.

We had a wonderful visit to Waldo Lake, the experience staying as Islet was fantastic and the campgrounds were kept immaculate. Bring lots of mosquito spray as they are pretty fierce in July.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.

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