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.

When we were at the South Shore campground at Suttle Lake on 7/5/21, we noticed that the majority of reserved campgrounds were empty. It is a shame that so many sites were available because of “no shows” who couldn’t be bothered to cancel their reservations.
In speaking with the ranger, we learned that they’re now booking 100% of the sites versus only 50% before the pandemic.
We noticed the same thing (empty reserved campsites) when we were at Suttle Lake’s Blue Bay campground a few weeks before. I would guess this may be happening at other locations, too.
They should return to reservations for 50% of the sites and/or change the cancellation policy to include a hefty penalty for no shows. Obviously people can afford to make reservations and then ignore them instead of canceling and allowing others to reserve a site.

Beautiful trees! Quiet campground; nice atmosphere. The lake is warm enough to swim in as long as it's not windy. We enjoyed our time there. Bathrooms were very clean and well maintained.

Long time Suttle Lake camper here. I love it here and will always come back. Just a little heads up that I wish I had:
For the tent campers staying at South Shore, be wary of snagging a waterfront spot. The wind is INSANE, especially early on in the season. Even with everything being staked down we nearly blew away.

Beautiful lake, beautiful campground. We were very lucky to have warm weather while we were there. The sites are very big, and the lowest 10 or so are on the lakeshore. I will say, it can get windy. We didn’t have a campfire because of it.
Anxious to return

Clean camping area and the host was very helpful. It was quite with no loud parties, or barking dogs.
