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.

Nice large site. Close to the day use area, but still felt very private. We had no one walking thought the site. One large tent pad and we were able to find a spot for another tent. Short walk to the lake.

Nice lake, beautiful scenery. But it's a very busy campground with noisy kids, loud music late into the night and Marijuana smoke everywhere. Would not recommend. This used to be a quiet peaceful place to relax, but not anymore.

Always a great time at Takhlakh. While it gets a lot more attention that it used to, people still manage to be decent neighbors here. Lots of critters out at night, so put your food away before going to bed. I slept in the bed of my truck and had mice crawling around the exhaust pipes all night. Be back next year!

Beautiful views of the mountains and nice clean campground. Last hour towards site is best to do with four wheel drive and bring plenty of water. Limited space for day time hanging out so would be worth 2 day stay if planning to do lake water activities.

Beautiful campsites in the trees. View of Mt Adams at end of Lake is gorgeous. Lots of fun hikes in area.

Frustrating to have to reserve both Friday and Saturday night together. We noticed several camp sites said reserved but were no shows for either Friday night or Saturday. Realizing people were required to book both nights together explained the vacant campsites on those nights. Too bad cause there were many people coming through looking for non reservation sites that could have used those spots.
Also rude camper playing music all day long on speakers. Just use headphones so others aren’t forced to hear your music all day.
Sites very crowded together with not enough screening between.

We had a great time. Lake and mountain were glorious.
Mark and Beri (camp hosts) were the best!
