What Guests Are Saying
Trial Lake Campground offers beautiful views and is ideal for kayaking and paddle boarding, with great fishing opportunities. While some parking pads are short and water spigots are unavailable, making it necessary to plan ahead for water, the overall experience is positive, especially during late August when bugs are minimal. The presence of wildlife, including bald eagles, adds to the campground's charm.

Very nice campground. The lake was low due to drought conditions. Many of the sites have very short parking pads but a few are good for truck/trailers. We saw two bald eagles while kayaking. We went in late August which is a perfect time (kids are back in school and bugs are minimal). One negative was that the water spigot were shut down (should note that on web site) so we had to go to a different campground to get water.

A beautiful campground with amazing views. This is one of our favorite places to visit. Great for kayaking and paddle boards. Fishing is usually fantastic. The only downside is no potable water so plan ahead.

This was an awesome campground and we really enjoyed our stay! It was fairly easy to get to and we woke up to a beautiful view of the lake right below our campsite. It is near a lot of other trails and lakes as well.

Trial Lake is one of my favorite campgrounds. Elevation is 9500 feet, so be prepared for cold nights and quick change in weather. Once when we camped, it rained, hailed, was crazy windy, and sunny, all in the same weekend.
This year because of the snow and flooding, we were there mid-July and the campground had just opened. We've stayed in site #7 (right on the water) and #1 (a double site.) Site #1 is at the bottom of a big hill which really limited where we could put our tents. There are 2 10x10 tent pads, but one of our tents is 14x14, so we had to put it in the grass and sleep on an incline. The location of the site is literally right across the road from the lake. We would just walk across with our chairs and kayaks and enjoyed the day, but it also meant that other people were parking at our site or literally walking thru the middle of the site to get to the water (nothing to do with the campground, just people's bad manners.) The water was beautiful. The site itself had a ton of bugs and small worm like bugs were falling out of the trees over the picnic tables. I like the lake, but I wouldn't stay at site #1 again.

Pulled the trigger on this campground and was definitely not disappointed! Beautiful lake, beautiful campsite, beautiful weather. Not to mention having spots for parking, tent platforms, and a very clean and helpful camp host were also great additions! Highly recommended!
