What Guests Are Saying
Takhlakh Lake Campground offers stunning scenery, with beautiful views of Mount Adams and a serene lake, making it a lovely spot for camping and hiking. The campground is well-maintained, with clean facilities and friendly hosts. However, visitors should be cautious of wildlife, like rodents, and prepare for a rough drive in, as well as the requirement to pack out trash and bring their own water.

I’ve visited before and always love Takhlakh, but this time was subpar only because there was no water and at first I just that my memory had served me wrong but upon talking to other campers—who had camped there before too—they also thought potable drinking water had been at Takhlakh in years past. Wouldn’t have been a problem had we been prepared and brought more water. Bring lots of bug spray, it sure is buggy up there!

Camp hosts were great; friendly and attentive. We were camped right next to the outhouse and it was clean and fresh-smelling. The camp hosts cleaned it regularly. Nice quiet campground even though it was at 100% capacity (on a Friday night). Such a scenic campground; we spent the day on the lake in a kayak. Very busy since it was a weekend, but everybody there was considerate. The mosquitoes and black flies were fierce! We expected that and did our best to combat them, but decided to leave one night early. A lot of other campers did also. Ah, such is camping in the woods in July! Still a lot of fun; wanted to spend a day on the lake for a very long time and finally did it. Clear, blue skies and Mount Adams was gorgeous.

Very popular in summer when the weather is good. There are always a fair number of day users which keep the launch area crowded.... So we prefer the sites with a little distance. The camp hosts do a great job of keeping the vault toilets clean.
