Nice lake and campground with dark skies at night. Vault toilets were very clean for what they were and there were quite a few of them. Be prepared for the bug - so, so many bugs.

Forest trail 112 up to the intersection with the PCT is well worth the effort. Nicest fault toilets I’ve seen. Very well done. Bring Proper clothing and repellent for the bugs. Enjoy the beauty.

Great campsite! nice accommodations and beautiful lake. Enjoyed the kayaking and hiking, but the mosquitoes were terrible! You should really spray the campsite area and the marsh area where the larva grow. We loved the National Park!

Beautiful lake and views of Mt Adams. Clean camp site. Nice view of Mt Rainer from a short hike out of the camp. Surprisingly no water except from the lake. Friendly camp hosts. The gravel road leading into the park from the gorge was in fairly good shape, but the road leading NE from the park was more rough and difficult. We rode some of this with our gravel bikes.

One of the most beautiful places in Gifford Pinchot National Forest. My only complaint is the mosquitoes are unbearable.
