There did not appear to be a host on duty, so I stuck a copy of the registration on the board at the host's site.

The campground was lovely and quiet and we went for a walk in the dunes and made good use of the fire pit.

Camp hosts were fantastic as usual. The camp was nice and clean and other campers were respectful. This remains our go-to place on the coast.

Small campground, which makes it perfect. Our spot was on the lake and private, though not all are, so keep that in mind, depending on what you’re looking for. I highly recommend this campground and will be returning for sure.

It was close enough to the road to be a little loud. The proximity to the lake was amazing which is what we were there for. The grounds and facilities were maintained brilliantly

The campground hosts were very supportive. We hadn't made a reservation ahead of time and they allowed us to use their wifi. It took 30-40 minutes to make the reservation online using my phone. The system scrolled for 10 minutes at a time and I rebooted three times. If reservations can only be made online, the campground should have wifi available, though that's one of the reasons people go camping, to escape wifi and computer systems.
We are extremely unhappy with the recreation.gov system. We miss the old system where you can see what's available and what's been reserved before you choose your campsite. Recreation.gov takes the spontaneity out of road trips
We had looked forward to kayaking Tahkenitch Lake, but in the morning we just wanted to find our next camping spot before they were all taken. Hopefully some day we'll be back to kayak Tahkenitch.
