Nice quiet time. Forest Service could do a favor to everyone and TRY to get after IVY and Blackberries, especially down near boat ramp. Great that IVY has been cut around large spruce and fir trees. Thanks for that!!! Spaces 18 and 16 are 'designed' for a 'group in mind and worked great. Some branches could be trimmed to improve the view. The fire rings were nicer to warm up (esp. when sitting) when the sides were not 3' but 1 1/2' in height. Did not have any interaction with Host, which was fine.

Tahkenitch Landing is a relaxed, low-key small campground next to Tahkenitch Lake. The camp hosts were both very friendly and also very low-key. The sites were well-placed and gave some good privacy. The only downside is that the campground is very close to the busy Highway 101. I assume the terrain made it impossible to locate the campground a couple hundred yards further back.

This campsite has a beautiful view of the lake, and that is basically the only good thing about it. The ground is so rutted from RVs that it is difficult to find a level spot for a tent -- and if you have a large tent you'll probably be out of luck. There is absolutely no shade or privacy screening -- only a flimsy rail fence separates the site from the adjacent site. The site was scattered with little pieces of trash and bordered by thick tangles of blackberry (which at least were ripe when I was there). The highway noise was audible but not as loud as on the shoulder I suppose. The campground has a vault toilet but no running water, yet it costs the same as a nearby campground with potable water and flush toilets. Save your money and find a back road to camp on,
