Worst camping experience by far. Loud campsite with lots of kids and families around, and very few campsites here are private and isolated. We were shocked by how loud and obnoxious some groups were! The lake was accessible after a 5-10min walk. None of the water taps near us worked, and the nearest one that did was all the way near the camp host. Aaand the host was a 10-15min away, so it was a trek to get that $10 tiny firewood bundle and water. Whenever I visited pit toilet, the lid was up even though the campground asks to lower it — obviously it did not smell good. You’d have to pay me to stay here next time, not the other way around

I enjoy this campground. Typically nice and clean. Usually quiet at night. One of my top campgrounds to return to.

Campsite was ready for us. We spent 4 nights. Did not use the restrooms as we had our own but did notice the host cleaning them every day. The host did make their rounds, but it would have been nice to see them out and about a couple of times a day. It is a large campground, so their time is kept busy. It was a real treat to have the Navy jet planes flying low around the area, exciting. Making reservations were really easy to do. We will return for sure.

We stayed in lower loop #65. The campground was clean and in good shape. Nice shade about 50% of the time. The lake was mostly full and very few people were using the marina. The only noise at night were the nearby coyotes.

Bumping Lake is a beautiful alpine lake in remote wilderness. The drive along the Little Naches River from the east was incredible, from Naches to the Bumping River Road turnout. Lots of campsites along the final stretch of road. We stayed in Site 056 of the Lower campground, which had a great access to the water in our "backyard." The sites are all spacious and pretty secluded. It was Memorial Day Weekend but many sites were unoccupied, we made reservations ahead of time but anyone coming last minute would have no problem finding an empty site to stay at.
Next time I would love to bring kayaks, as there are many cool little islands just offshore that are worth exploring.

I am hoping the fresh water line system throughout the UBL Campground Area is repaired and back online for summer 2024.
