Site we got (10) was really hilly, difficult to get a good position for the family tent. A few stumps in the site as well were termite homes, so the ground was crawling. The bugs didn't really bother me that much, they're just doing their thing, but it could eek some others out. Site would be fine for a pull-through camper or smaller tent though. Other sites would be better for us with our large basecamp tent.

We just stopped here for one night. Unfortunately it was very smoky from the nearby wildfires. Nice campsites though. Close enough to the resort to walk there via the trail around the lake. The resort was nice, the lodge looks amazing and we had a draft beer and some snacks. The resort rents boats, kayaks, cabins and lodge rooms. We brought our own kayaks and launched from the little boat launch that is near the campsite. We walked part way around the lake, probably half and it is a very nice, well kept trail. This time of year there were lots of yellow-jackets...bring your trap!

We were here in August and there were relentless huge numbers of wasps. We couldn’t cook or eat any food without being swarmed. Had to eat in the car. Also slight wind shifts very easily brought in the smoke from the fires south of the grounds. Night time got much better for the wasps. Beautiful spot but recommend going during a time the wasps are less active.

Fantastic location with amazing access to the water. We really enjoyed paddling down to the Boathouse at Suttle Lodge for soft serve in the afternoon!

It was very good to find an algae-free lake for my dog to wade in. Wonderful privacy, big trees - national forests are my favorite campgrounds because of this. A loose dog situation across the road was resolved when I spoke to the owner. But yuck, the outhouses really needed to be pumped out, both at this campground and at the other Deschutes Forest campgrounds that we visited on this trip.

Nice lake, campgrounds not well maintained, roads need repairs and our site was right in the middle of day use parking lot, people everywhere. Will skip this one next time.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
