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.

Some drawbacks with massive mosquitoes on the lake trail and campers who were quarantined nearby. The lake is wonderful with stunning views of Mt. Adams. Very popular!!

One look over the lake at Mount Adams and it's obvious why this is a popular campground, it's beautiful here. Having said that if you're looking for a quiet, serene experience camping here, think again. Too many people making too much noise. I likened it to a small town, in the woods. After being woken up multiple times, the last time around 2am with someone nearby chopping wood and with no chance of a nap during the daytime, I left after one evening having gotten very little sleep. This was my second attempt to camp here, the first time was more enjoyable despite heavy rain and thunderstorms, at least it wasn't crowded. As a tent camper this will likely be my last trip to this campground especially during its peak season.

Very nice campground with amazing views of Mt. Adams. The campground is also closed to some other hikes (but the road past the campground is pretty bad) which was convenient.
