The Coho campground is now managed by D5 Recreation LLC and the new host would not let me move from my reserved site to a first come first serve site without paying for both sites , in the past when under different management and at other forest service campgrounds also I was able to move from a reserved site to a first come site with no additional fee. I think I deserve a refund.

This campground is so clean and well maintained. The hosts are exceptional! We loved our stay here. The lake is also super clean and nice, and just a short walk away from the campsites.

I love Coho campground. The hosts were great. I'm happy that we could buy ice daily rather than doing a 62 mi trek every day for ice. The one thing I object to is the allowance of the hydro jet boats on the lake. This is a rural, serene, area and to have those jet boats going up and down the lake for hours really ruins the tranquility of the place. The lake is only 5 mi long at the most so we are experiencing back and forth extremely loud noise for hrs. Other campers were annoyed as well. I'm not saying all boats and skidoos should not be there, I just think the jet boats should stay in a urban setting and not at the lake. Please consider restricting the hydro boats on Lake Wynoochee.

Coho Campground is beautiful! The sites are fairly well spaced out, and the campground is clean and paved. A couple of nice hikes nearby, through the forest and down to the lake and dam.

That said, do not drive to the campground from Hwy 101 on Donkey Creek Road. THAT road is unimproved with huge washes and potholes! Instead, users should approach the campground from US 12 at Montesano. It would be good if Rec.gov pointed that out to campers!
