Very nice campground with amazing views of Mt. Adams. The campground is also closed to some other hikes (but the road past the campground is pretty bad) which was convenient.

Beautiful location with Mt. Adams towering over the lake. Huckleberry bushes everywhere with berries just starting to come in. Campground was full and busy, but relatively quiet at night. Lake attracts many from surrounding area and becomes quite crowded on nice days. Many nice hiking trails nearby. Last 12 miles of road from Randle a bit rough, so be patient. Last bit from Trout Lake may not be much better. Remember NO POTABLE water at campsite or nearby.

Beautiful lake and a popular place to camp. Cold at night, so remember to take layers. The camp hosts ran the site very efficiently bathrooms were very clean
