North Waldo

A memo about spot 41 might be added to warn about the hill, but other then that it's a great place to kayak!

This place is magical and pristine. I hope people continue to treat it with care. The camp host Doug was excellent, by far the best we’ve met. He kept everything spotless which is not an easy task with pit toilets. He did regular rounds and spoke to campers a bit. The mosquitos were definitely on another level, be prepared with natural effective spray and screened areas.

We paid for the double site with the intent of putting two vehicles in it, but it was too short, and we were only able to fit our trailer and truck side by side. I guess this campground just isn't very trailer friendly.
oh well.

We had an outstanding time at North Waldo Lake Campground. The Campground opened on July 1st this year due to snow, our site 21) still had a bit. The parking pad is fairly level, a slight decline toward the road. The site itself is huge, private and beautiful. It is located right beside a trailhead, near a small beach area and a few sites away from the bathrooms.

The mosquitos were really bad, so be prepared. Mosquito nets for your head are handy.

The camp host, Doug, is awesome! He is so helpful, attentive and keeps everything so neat and clean. His hard work getting the camp ready really showed.

Would love to go back, the trails and the lake are spectacular.

Our camp host Dennis, was very helpful, friendly, and made us feel like old friends. We kayaked and swam in the lake. It was just beautiful!

The camp ground and lake were so amazing!

Upon arriving, we were a little worried since it was quite smokey. But the camp host was very friendly and helpful and told us about the fluctuation in the winds at different times if the day and that it would not be smokey the whole time. He also answered all our questions about navigating around as it was our first time there. The dock to paddle out was right close from the site and we really had a good time kayaking and exploring around the lake some as well as hiking around. The smoke cleared the second day with increased wind which didn’t interfere much with kayaking as we had thought. The bathrooms were very clean and pleasant to use. The composting technology is pretty impressive. The camp site was spacious and beautiful. The lake is breathtakingly gorgeous and so blue… Hope to be back again soon although reading about the declining quality of the water with human use made me wonder if we need to protect it for a few years so that it can recover from all the damage we are doing to it…

I would have given it a 5 star, but it was so smoky and I couldn't use the fire pit, which I understand why. It would have been awsome under better conditions.

My experience at North Waldo Campground was wonderful. the bathrooms were so clean and well-stocked it was very comforting. Everett I'm in the days I was camping that the bathrooms were dirty or out of toilet paper.
Was friendly and helpful.
