Take plenty of water as they have shut it off except for toilet flushing in the brick bathrooms. Fishing was fantastic as they must have restocked the lake. The rangers are great.

The lack of garbage cans in the day use area is concerning. Last summer people did not pack garbage out and I never saw any employees cleaning up so I spent every morning of my camp trip cleaning up tons of trash and bottles and cans left behind .
The reservation system needs to go back to the way it used to be years ago .
If you no show on the second day of your reservation- your site used to become available for first come first serve .
So many sites sit reserved and paid for but unoccupied.
The park employees need to lighten up the rules about leaving our belongings on the land next to our boats overnight.
They say it’s because of theft . This is so illogical. We can leave our campsite unattended during the day when we play down at the lake - our things could get stolen at the campsite just the same .
Other than that - we will be back for 3 more trips to Loon Lake as we create family memories for the 30th year .

Awesome old growth trees which helped making camping in a light rain very manageable. Barely even got wet

This was a nice site. There is a separate pretty private area to put a tent. Stairs down to the bathroom are very close (pro or con, depending on how you look at it). The bathroom is just below the tent area, and it does has a light on all night. This didn’t bother us at all, although it may be a negative for some. You are the last site though, so only have the potential for neighbors on one side… The beach is an easy walk as well. I would stay at this campground again for sure, as it was beautiful and well-maintained. I would definitely consider this site again too.

So glad Loon Lake campground is finally reopened for 7 days a week camping. We look forward to the return of potable water, but even if this never happens it’s such a magical place that we will continue to come back for as long as we can.
We love that there is no cell service (okay, the tweens and teens didn’t love this, but the rest of us did!)
