Lake Gillette Campground is highly praised for its cleanliness, spacious and well-maintained sites, and beautiful lake, making it a great destination for families and pet owners. Many visitors enjoyed the friendly camp host, convenient boat launch, and good fishing opportunities. However, some noted noise from nearby vehicles and the need for better trail maintenance, while a few encountered issues with site reservations. Overall, it remains a popular choice for campers looking for a pleasant experience.

Just camped here for 4 nights over the Labor Day weekend 2021. Very nice campground with a short walk to the lake. Quiet within the campground HOWEVER, there are several ORV areas just past the campground and the noise of the off road vehicles going past the campground is LOUD and pretty continuous from about 8 am until dark especially weekend. Many of the riders are not of legal age to be on any paved road.

There is a lovely hike called Springboard which is a circle route of 2.5-3 mi and moderate level. The chain of lakes is pretty and fun with kayaks and paddleboards although there can be alot of speed boats on the next lake.

We love it here.....Gillette Campground for the woodsy area and Lake Gillette Campground to be close to the lake plus the woodsy feel, and it's also close to home!

We come here every year for a few days. Great campground and the two young gentlemen who are the hosts this year were friendly and helpful while also keeping the facilities clean.

This a small camp site that exceeded my expectations, big sites more than enough for my family and trailer, clean vault restrooms. easy access to water, boat launch and small beach, so quiet and private, unfortunately there is a noisy and busy lodge across the lake, that was annoying bot nothing to do with Gillette lake campground, definitely we will come back.
