Takhlakh Lake Campground

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!

Thank you so much to the campground hosts for all their help. Most beautiful campground and well taken care of. Will def be back.

First I'll start by saying the camp host were very good. Clean restrooms and good dry firewood available.
But the campground itself was a shambles with trees fallen all around. Small water puddles all around make superb breeding ground for the mosquitoes. There is supposed to be a trail around the lake, but it isn't maintained so it's blocked by fallen trees.
The lack of any water and none to be found for at least 8 mi makes this a campground we'll probably never visit again.

Bathrooms and campground were clean. Hosts were great. However, there were so many bugs you couldn't talk outside without getting a mouthful. We kept waiting for the bugs to go away as the sun came out, but if anything, they got worse. We went home early.
We will try again next year as this is usually one of our favorite campgrounds.

Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, mosquitoes !
The only safe place was in the tent !
Arrived 7/31/22 planning to stay 3 nights. We lasted 2 and bailed out !
Lovely spot at the foot of Mt Adams, nice campground, good tent sites, pit toilets well maintained, friendly and helpful camp hosts....but the mosquitoes, sheesh !
People who knew what they were doing were wearing mosquito nets on their heads and in some cases "all over body" mosquito nets.
I would say don't go there until very late in the summer and hopefully they've thinned out by then !
I was there on a day trip as part of a different camping trip last summer, towards the end of august and there were virtually no mosquitoes at all. But early August this year.... not good at all
