If you can get in here it's a fantastic site. Right by the lake, great fishing, and paddle board. No water so bring your own.

Lovely place. We had a large pull-through site with lots of room for the truck & trailer and a lake view. Pretty path around most of the lake. Lots of public paths to lake. Good trout fishing. Fully paved. It was cold nights—40’s. Rained. Low 70’s day time. Friendly host. Lots of stars in night sky. Quiet. Nicely spaced. Clean bathrooms. Just pits. Firewood $10. No electric hookup or water. $10 at 7-11 for sewage drain. None on site. Hiking trails & stream fishing nearby. Loved it. We will return. Reservations needed. A few people reserved and were no shows on the rainy days. They showed up once weather report improved.

The Camp hosts, Karma and Dennis were just amazing! They kept the campground clean and tidy and were so accomadating and friendly. The weather was just perfect, the sunrises and sunsets were breath-taking and the fishing was the best! We will be back for sure. We have one suggestion for you management. We would like to be able to use our Lifetime Senior pass on a double site that we would share with another senior couple with their own Lifetime Senior pass. This would be a great option for us seniors and would appreciate serious consideration of this suggestion.

The camp hosts were very nice. Before you book, keep in mind that there is no running water and campsites are not private at this campground. The pads for tents were very good, the fire rings were very good, and the location to restrooms was convenient. The dumpsters were great to keep out bears. Even though the restroom had vaulted toilets, they were clean and they used some kind of chemical that kept the smell out. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience but if you are expecting privacy and running water it probably isn't for you.

Campsite #32 at Washington Lake Campground does not have a tent pad nor is there running water. I’m not sure if any of the campgrounds in this area have running water unfortunately….

The campground was nice and clean and tidy, with large parking pads and the host were great.
