Coho Campground

Definitely avoid site 40 in loop B. The site is just gravel and the bathroom: no trees, no privacy, and the bathroom door slamming throughout the day and night. Some of the other sites looked okay, but very small and packed together.

The lake is a reservoir with an industrial dam. I didn’t see a single bird, fish, or forest critter over the course of 3 days. The trails in the area are terribly overgrown. Overall disappointing and far from the peaceful camping experience I had hoped for.

I rated an extra star because the camp host was kind and helpful and the bathrooms were clean.

Lovely campground with a great host and nice to have first come first serve spaces in addition to the reservation ones.

The site host was incredibly kind and stopped to help us get our yurt key even though he was busy with other things. The lake and hill views are beautiful. The campground is crowded and a lot of people were very loud/playing loud music past quiet hours. Limited parking spots for the walk-in areas, so we had to park in a weird spot off the shoulder of the road by the lot.

We enjoyed the stay very much. The sites are big and the host was very nice with our children. Take the road from the south as the other road is not in a good condition.

This was a beautiful camp ground. Right near a rocky beach with swimming available, lots of great trails and some neat information and cool views from the dam. They actually had flush toilets - a bit of a luxury in a national forest campground - and the sites were comfortable and well spaced. We would love to stay again!

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!

I love Coho campground. The hosts were great. I'm happy that we could buy ice daily rather than doing a 62 mile 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 miles 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.

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.

Very nice and helpful campground host.
Remarkably clean washrooms.
What a beautiful campsite with a stunning view of the lake and crystal clear water inviting you to swim. We will come back!

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.
