This is a beautiful camp ground and lake. It is well maintained and has many nice private sites to camp. There is a wonderful trail around the lake and into stunning woods. We will camp here again.

Takhlakh lake is stunning. We had a site on the lake with lots of room. We had blue sky, sunshine and cool air. The hike around the lake and to the meadow was fabulous! Gorgeous scenery, plant life (my passion) and trail in excellent condition. Campground host was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this site.

Our first visit to Takhlakh Lake and we had a wonderful time. Of course the spectacular view of Mt. Adams was a high point but the campground was also exceptional. Tidy and well maintained- it's clear that the camp hosts, Aron and Casey, were doing a supurb job, While the road in was a little rough it was definitely worth the trip
