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.

We recently made a reservation for an RV site 24, which says it should fit RV length 33 ft. When we arrived, there’s no way our 27 ft trailer could fit the site. It’s definitely not long enough. Since it was late, we didn’t want to disturb the campground host so we found a first come, first serve site. The next morning, we paid for the FCFS campsite and told the campground host he can cancel and release our original site 24 since we will not use it. We know he released it since we saw the sign on the site post that it was available.

Since there was no WiFi service at the campground, we requested a refund through recreation.gov on the app after the trip. The refund would have to be determined via the campground host per the app.

The campground host denied the refund. We didn’t expect the first night to be refunded so was just hoping for a partial refund for the nights we double paid for both sites due to the falsely advertised site length at least.

Disappointed that that couldn’t be accommodated. Make sure you double check the RV site length before coming here.
