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,

Campsite number 8 was amazing! Super private, spacious and with a beautiful view of the lake. You do need to go on a walk to get to the bathrooms, which for us was totally fine. The bathrooms were very well kept and clean.

We chose this spot because we love being on a lake but weren’t amazed by the access from the campground and ended up going to Woahink Lake instead. Beautiful view and nice privacy campsite 8 but probably more ideal for water activities other than swimming, playing with dogs, and sitting lakeside

Great lake & campsite. Campground suffering from no current on site representative. No toilet paper in woman’s 3 days running. No one canvassing to make sure random folks don’t just stay at open sites (which they do). A sizable hole in one site that could lead to injury if not filled. I had the time so picked up candy wrappers a d dog poop while I was there, because I love the place.

Please get an on site supervisor! This is a most splendid campground, excellent swim & boat site that will suffer if left unattended.

The campsite is in a beautiful location. I only gave three stars because there is no campground host, and it felt a bit insecure.

Hey, we secured #9 and received an email cancelling our reservation: A location closure has been issued for TAHKENITCH LANDING from Wed, May 10, 2023 - Tue, Apr 30, 2024 due to Site Closure .
We then reserved another one...it was a poor choice on our side...
To our surprise, the camping was empty and number 9 was in use.....
I walked thru the campsite and looked at fire hole to see usage & i can tell you that my choice was never used & number 9 had a heavy usage
Try to explain that one to me...

It’s a pretty good campsite, it had a grill for the fire pit which is nice. The bathrooms were pretty far from our site at 8. In ground. Overall good experience, I do think considering the amenities available, it should be a cheaper per night stay. Wasn’t as close to the beach as I had thought but still really cool next to the lake.
