What Guests Are Saying
Takhlakh Lake Campground offers stunning scenery, with breathtaking views of Mt. Adams and a well-maintained lake. The hiking trails and campground facilities are generally clean, and the camp hosts receive praise for their friendliness and diligence. However, issues such as a lack of potable water, occasional overcrowding, and recent management challenges can detract from the experience, especially during peak times.

Remote little gem of a campground if you can time it to avoid the bugs; hosts were nice, bathrooms and trash were in good shape

Beautiful area! The on line map was not up to date- site #40 is shown to be lakeside- it is not. #41 is. Many of the campsites are very close together, which can make for awkward camping, trying to be a polite neighbor. I was there mid week in September- fewer bugs and less people- but the people started streaming in Thursday night and Friday, when I left. Chipmunks are persistent, one spent the night in my car! Luckily nothing was destroyed and it ate the food that had fallen between the seats! Lots of hiking and exploring options.

Someone was in our campsite at 5 PM. Nobody around, camp host was not there until the next day. Lucky there were some open sites available.

Love this place. Been there a couple of times what a view and nice campgrounds. No water there so make sure to bring your own.

It is a great campground, beautiful and peaceful. The sites were generally private and ample in size. The hike around the lake is nice, more of a stroll but well worth it. As well, the trail from the lake up to Tahk Tahk Meadows and the lava field is equally easy and well worth the time.
The gravel section of the road on the way up could use some maintenance to shave down the endless washboards. Not sure how often that gets scheduled but I'd say it needs it now.

It was fun and a nice rural getaway butttt I paid $10 on top of $40 for booking to change the date of my reservation and someone was in my spot when I got there… at first I thought someone took my spot but my name was not on the campsite but instead said the person was paid through the next day. I was able to find the last site that wasn’t reserved yet and told the person there wahr happened but I would love a refund for at least my $10 change fee since I paid $50 to not have my spot when I could’ve pulled up and paid $22 for the spot I found.
