This is an awesome camp for those with fishing, kayaking, or water play on your daily agenda. Sites are spaced apart and generous, with terrific pines and winding trails. The camp is located to a few beaches and entry points via trails, so everything is accessible while feeling wild and remote. Bring bug spray! If you really are tasty to the mosquitos, bring netting for your camp and body.

It was a beautiful campground. Sites not as close to water as expected. The bathrooms smelled horrendous to the point of gagging and burning eyes. The mosquitoes were relentless, they didn’t care that we had 40% Deet bug spray or 7 citronella candles placed around the campfire and tables. After 2 days each person averaged 80 mosquito bites. After applying so much bug spray while there the showers we had when arriving home were so refreshing.

Waldo is a beautiful lake. It’s quiet on the weekdays. The mosquitoes are brutal, however, so plan for that.

The lake is gorgeous! The crystal clear water was beautiful. Be warned that when people say there are a lot of mosquitos at the end of June they are being serious! Besides the bugs, the camp host was very nice and the site had a lot shade. There is no water available at any campgrounds around the lake.

Mother Nature did not allow a good visit this year. Evacuated in the middle of the night due to severe wind storm dropping trees in the campground. The Camp Host did an excellent job managing the event and getting campers out as quickly and smoothly as possible. Our stellar camp host was way more informative and responsive than the forest service about when and how to retrieve our gear when the forest was closed due to the severe conditions and fires elsewhere. Granted the NFS had plenty to take care of and I am grateful for their service and disaster mitigation. I hope to visit in a better year.

One of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. However, BEWARE AND PREPARE for the mosquitos! I had seen previous reviews on this issue and didn't think much of it, boy was I wrong!

We were there only for one night but we thoroughly enjoyed at campsite 27.The water was crystal clear and warm enough for swimming .We did paddle boarding.
There were no mosquitoes and camp host Doug was very helpful.
We will go there again .

North Waldo was beautiful! The campground was clean and spacious. The camp host was informative and helpful. The first come first serve campgrounds are a bit difficult to navigate but we all finally settled on an agreeable outcome.

Waldo Lake was beautiful and the camp hosts Doug and Arrow were amazing! Besides the mosquitos that ate us alive it was 10/10.
