Takhlakh Lake Campground

the relatively new campground hosts were very friendly and helpful, the restroom was clean and well supplied, and the nearby campers were all good neighbors

The host’s were very friendly and the restrooms were some of the cleanest we have experienced.

Absolutely gorgeous lake and very quiet. Long gravel road to get in and out of camp so be sure to bring everything you need!. We stayed in spot 37 with a 23 ft airstream and we left the trailer on the car. Fit perfectly and was fairly private. Wasn’t lakeside so we had to walk our kayak and paddle board to the day use area to use. We just left them there for several days and it was fine. Others did as well. Next time will try to get a spot lakeside. Camp host was great. No WiFi and no cell service which was also great. Some bugs but not too bad. Will be back. Lovely place.

Beautiful lake with a great view of Mt Adams. Remote location with challenging roads to get there. Great camp host.

This is a popular/busy campground so if you are looking for total isolation then explore elsewhere. Also, if you are showing up on a weekend with no reservations then good luck...we had a couple parties vying for our camp site at 7am on a Friday morning. The campground offers ample lake access, a trail around the lake with great huckleberry picking, friendly camp hosts, beautiful view of mt adams, and clean pit toilets. Our biggest concern was getting eaten alive by mosquitos but we lucked out and experienced minimal encounters with them. Bring drinking water unless you are cool with lake water. Overall, enjoyable experience and would stay again.

There was no camp host the first night we were there. Bathrooms were overflowing with trash. People were having fires despite the burn ban. There was no noise ordinance upheld and people were partying into the wee hours of the morning. Considering the yearly fires this state endures I would expect at the very least there would be someone there to monitor that. Someone did arrive our final night (as camp host) and he seemed to be taking the job seriously and paying attention to fires, trash, etc. I understand that there have been recent cuts with funding but at the very least the minimum things need to be attended to and if not, this campground should be shut down. As sad as that would make me, I care about the environment more than a beautiful view and peace this campground allows.

So peaceful and beautiful! And it was very easy to find campsite

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.

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

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.
