Link Creek

We have been camping at Link Creek for many years. We love walking around the lake and just relaxing and looking at Suttle Lake. The camp host was very nice and stopped to visit us.
We will be back.♥️

It's a tight spot for a 27' travel trailer and full sized four door pick up to back in to. You have to watch out for your truck fenders and trailer.

Loved it, great camp host very personable. Only 1 complaint, mosquitoes.

Other than the mosquitos almost eating us alive, we loved it. The camping was wonderful with nice warm fires in the morning and at night and beautiful walks around Suttle Lake.

Campground was great! Mosquitoes...UGH.

Snow was so deep we had to park at the entrance of the campground and walk to the yurt. Also, the wood stove seemed to not be airtight, and lots of smoke came out the back of the stove until it heated up. Other than that, the yurt was great and warm once the fire was going well.

I wish I had more to say here but unfortunately I was unable to have any experience at all. My girlfriend and I scheduled one night here as an early valentines day getaway. The day before my scheduled one night stay at one of these yurt's, I received a confirmation email with a padlock code for me to access the yurt. When I got there, I went up and attempted the code in the padlock... but the lock wouldn't open. I tried the combination every way possible but unfortunately, nothing I tried would work. I double checked I was at the right one, and even tried the code on the other two Yurts at the campsite. Still nothing. At this point I called Recreation.gov to ask if maybe there was a mistake, and they gave me a phone number for the site manager. I called that number, just to find out the phone connected to that number isn't monitored throughout the winter?? After realizing that I had no way to contact the site manager, I called Recreation.gov again and asked for a refund. They were very nice and apologetic about my experience and submitted a refund request to the site manager with a short note explaining that I was not able to access the yurt and therefore wanted a refund. The next day, my refund request was DENIED with no further explanation. I called again and was simply given an excuse that they can't refund me without property managers approval.

What a complete joke. Do not book here unless you're looking to throw away your money. I am normally an extremely patient person, and I understand that there was probably some simple mistake that was completely unintentional, but at least have the decency to pay a refund. I was robbed of $60 and all that I got was a ruined valentines day getaway.

We loved the yurt. We were a little surprised to discover that the campground is not plowed, and the yurt was a short jaunt through the snow. Finding the yurt was a fun challenge, since we arrived after dark. The wood stove works well, remember to bring firewood and lights.

Dog friendly. Lots of birds. We even saw a beautiful bald Eagle. The sites are on a small incline. Include Dee Weight Observatory and Santiam Pass in your visit.

Toilets were cleaned daily. Host was friendly and helpful. Sites were clean. No trash. There was just enough wood to start the stove. Stove had tools including hot glove and hot coal bucket. Fire ring also had block of wood for splitting your wood on.
