What Guests Are Saying

Washington Lake Campground is highly praised for its beautiful location, excellent access to hiking trails, and well-maintained facilities. Camp hosts are friendly and diligent, contributing to a clean and enjoyable camping experience. While some sites are close to the lake, there are concerns about noise from generators and the lack of running water; however, the overall ambiance and recreational opportunities make it a preferred destination for many campers.

Lovely campground with great access to the lake. If you camp on the lake side, there will be lots of people walking by your site on the trail around the lake. Also, lots of big RVs running generators, so not the quietest outdoor experience.

It is very sad the conditions and care of FORST SERVICE campgrounds across the country. The road going thru MIRROR LAKE. the broken picnic tables, bad fire pits and EVERYTHING in general. The is everywhere we go in NATIONAL FORST CAMPGROUNDS. THEY NEED TO BE FIXED UP. THE COMPANIES that are in charge need to be held accountable also. Lazy campground hosts that do not clean bathrooms and campsites..

We had a really great time at the Washington Lake group site with our family (20 people). Tent pads were good, toilets were relatively clean, and the patio area was nice and spacious.

The sites are a little far from the lake if you have kayaks or whatever; be prepared to haul. Also disappointed that our site neighbors had open fires when explicitly prohibited.
