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

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.
