Even though the water hadn’t been turned on yet for the season and there was not a camp host selling seasoned firewood, our visit to Islet campground was a pleasant one. The campsites were tidy and well dispersed. Waldo lake is a favorite destination for us. The mosquitoes were plentiful and impressive in number; a factor to keep Waldo visits limited to fall season when evening temperatures knock down the numbers of the pesky little critters.

This is my second visit to this campground. I love the location, the abundant trees and the large campsites on the lakeside. This last visit, there was no water available which became an issue as it is a 40 minute drive to buy water. The mosquitos were out in their usual full force which is something to be reckoned with. So with that being said, bring extra water and the best mosquito repellent you can find. I also suggest spraying your tent with a mosquito preventative prior to arrival. Other than that, awesome campground!!

This is a really beautiful campground with campsites just 40 ft or so from the lake. The campsites are a good size and most are under old growth trees. My particular campsite was 47 and the trail down to the islet point was right beside by site. I was doing photography so this was very convenient for me. There is a nice shoreline trail that is easily accessed from most camp sites to take you around the lake, it is wide and well maintained. The boat ramp is easily accessible and nice and wide. There were a number of paddle boards, kayaks, and canoes on the lake.
The restrooms were very clean and well maintained. This is a really beautiful lake and I will be returning.

Everything you hear is true. It's a paradise, until mosquito come out. Sprayed my clothes and tent with permethrin, DEET from head to toe. My dog had repellent on. Both of us were literally eaten alive. my dog had bites so bad you could see visible bumps all over her body. Sadly we only stayed one night. Ranger had on hat with netting and rain gear ( it was 85 degrees) he said that was the only thing he found to help .
