What Guests Are Saying
South Shore Campground at Suttle Lake is cherished by many visitors for its beautiful scenery, spacious campsites, and family-friendly atmosphere. Campers enjoy the lake for swimming, hiking, and fishing, with many returning year after year. However, concerns about road conditions, restroom cleanliness, and pest issues like yellow jackets have been noted, suggesting room for improvement in maintenance and facilities.

The garbage cans were overflowing for a week. We called the forest service and they blamed the campground vendor. The vendor showed up on day and got nasty and said the FS was responsible for the garbage. In short, we had to smell the rotten garbage while the FS and vendor battled it out. In the end the vendor turned over the dumpsters and said to hell with the FS. All the roads are filled with huge potholes. No camp host. Many campsite were empty as there is no incentive for folks to cancel. Again, no park host to update who is registered and who is not. Been going there for years.....it is in a steady decline.

There is no camp host at this campsite. Unfortunately we were right next to the parking lot and the overflowing garbages. The view was pretty and the lake access was nice. But we would probably find a different campsite next time.

Bathroom was with out toilet paper for over 24hrs on July 12, and it smelled awful for a full day. Many on the dumpsters were overflowing. There was a campsite that was very pound into the morning hours but no host in the campground to control the noise.

Suttle Lake and the campground overall are great and we will definitely be back! Unfortunately, #12 is perhaps the worst campsite on the grounds. The features online said it had shade which was not the case and although it said lakefront, you couldn’t see the lake at all even though it was right there. Probably one of the few spots that close where you can’t see the lake. All this to say, definitely camp at Suttle lake but if there’s another spot available other than #12, I’d pick that one.
