Tahkenitch Landing

Beautiful lake view but little space at campsite, not level, no privacy. I stayed at site #3 to be close to the water. And there is no running water at the site!

Generally very pleasant low key campground with a fair bit of Hwy 101 road noise during the day, quiets down at night. A lot of clueless campers these days (a couple mistakenly occupied our reserved site due to not reading the site number correctly). The current camp hosts (July/Aug 2021) are real gems, very helpful and diligent in their duties, did a great job reducing conflicts between campers, always available. They get 5 + stars.

The Recreation.gov reservations website, on the other had gets zero or negative stars. It is expensive, clunky, difficult to use and is apparently selling reservations to scalpers who then re-sell them marked up on Craigslist, etc. This is one reason you can’t reserve a site online, yet when you get to the campground, many sites go unoccupied. Bring back First Come First Served!!

We love camping at Tahkenich landing lake, the camp host are amazing people, and we are so close to the water and have not encountered ang mosquitos,
Wonderful place to camp

Very clean and beautiful camp sites. The lake was beautiful and the fingers out from it had an amazing mix of wildlife.

The biggest bummer about this campground was the size of the sites. We stayed at site #11 and sites 9-13 should’ve been maybe two sites instead of 4. But ALL of the sites were just as crammed. Luckily the people at one of the sites next to us didn’t show up but we couldn’t reserve it either? Actually online it said the whole campsite was reserved and maybe about half the campsite was actually occupied so that was also strange. It had a nice view of the lake from our campsite but at night you could hear campsites around the loop because they were just so close together. About a 25 minutes drive to the north jetty where we got some ocean time. My partner swam in the lake and said it was nice, a little dirty, better for people who own a kayak or boat. The hosts were soooo nice and had cute pups too

As a last minute booking, this site provided the overnight accommodations I needed. However, though the camp site overlooked the beautiful lake, I felt like a sardine crammed into what should have been only 2 sites, not 3. No privacy and no demarcation between sites. The other sites that were wooded we much better, though even some of those were extremely closely clustered. I do have to say the hosts were exceptionally nice and friendly. The lake is gorgeous for boating, kayaking and fishing.

campground was clean lots of road noise camp host dog keep barking

Very clean. Quite. Nice to hear the wild life. Camp sites where in great shape. Next time I'm bringing a small boat to go on the lake. The lake was clean and not overcrowded.

Always a great trip. We have been coming for years. Nice and quiet

The campground is fine but the reservation system sucks. Signs on all the campsites said that they must be reserved, but the place was essentially empty while we were there. No signs of a campground host, no indication of what sites were actually reserved. We observed the same situation at other campgrounds along the coast, signage saying that all sites must be reserved in advanced but plenty of empty sites. No way to know which had actually been reserved. No dates on the posts.
