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.

Remote little gem of a campground if you can time it to avoid the bugs; hosts were nice, bathrooms and trash were in good shape

Management of the campground was a little chaotic. The bathrooms were trashed. Bags of garbage were piled high. There was no firewood for sale. The campground host was nowhere to be found. And worst of all, many of the sites were double booked! People who had reserved their sites months ago showed up on Friday night only to find that their sites were occupied already! Inexcusable.

Road leading to camp was pretty rough. washboard dirt made it slow but any car could make it 4x4 not needed. Camp was gorgeous and lake was better with view of Mt. Adams. It was crowded even mid week Even worse bathrooms ran out of TP. Yes I will go again

Beautiful location & a super clear lake. We had a couple sites side by side which worked out well for our group of 9. The vault toilets were not bad at all & fairly clean for our 4 day stay. Camping at this lake requires careful planning for ice and water since the nearest town is about 50 minutes away. The last stretch of road is laced with potholes; on a sunny day it's challenging to see them.
