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.

Beautiful lake with views of Mt. Adams. Spacious campsites and helpful camp hosts. There is a trail around the lake as well as other hiking trails in the area. We would definitely come back to this location.

waited a long time to finally stay at this campground. It is a beautiful area, but sites are close together and relatively open. Had a magnificent storm at night which was fantastic....but the listening to the several sites of people blaring music until 3am in between thunderclaps was not a great way to end our 7 day road trip. Also had their dog off-leash, begging for food in our campsite and riling up other dogs nearby who were on-leash. Now that rangers don't exist in campgrounds, I guess it can't be helped.

We had 3 very nice large campsites- 2 doubles and one single. Some of the other sites around the campground are quite small though so make sure you read the descriptions carefully. Although our sites weren't bordering the lake it was an easy walk for lake access. The campground hosts were very friendly and attentive. You really can't beat the scenery here, but it is quite a drive off of the beaten path and you're pretty far from cell service. The only downside to our visit was that there were a LOT of mosquitoes. Get ready to be constantly applying insect repellent day and night.
