The location is wonderful. The access to the lake is great. The yurt was in good condition. It wasn't the cleanest and lacked curtains and inside trash cans, but the site was large and we had more privacy than expected for high season. The hike around the lake is great. We brought a propane firepit and were able to enjoy small, controlled campfires in the evenings. There is waste water disposal not too far, but not dishwashing stations. The fish cleaning area was gross. The pit toilets were a rough. There was always toilet paper, but I would recommend toilet seat covers or just hovering... Highly recommend the drive to Sisters for Coco Loco fish tacos and fun shopping. Grab a book or game from Paulina Springs Bookstore to enjoy back at the campsite. Be aware that a lot of stores in Sisters are closed Monday-Wednesday. You cannot access Blue Lake from the nearby roads by vehicle. You have to head back out to the highway and head west quite a bit and utilize the forest roads. Beware on Suttle Lake that the west end of the lake is the only part of the lake that motored boats can really throttle up, so watch out if you're swimming or on kayak outside the no-wake zone swimming area. The Suttle Lodge has a restaurant, but they do not serve espresso. Closest coffee is Camp Sherman or Sisters, if you need your caffeine fix. The lodge had live music Monday evening and they serve burgers and ice cream if you want a no-cooking night. Would camp again, but bring my own porta-potty.
