My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Walupt CG - from the crystal clear cool lake water, to the decent campsite, to hiking the Nannie Ridge trail, and also exploring this slice of the Gifford Pinchot/Goat Rocks Wilderness. Will definitely return next time with kayaks & a mask/snorkel! Highly recommend this CG.

My first frustration was that I tried to book a site for 2 nights but according to the website I could only book the Thursday night and not the Friday night since weekend nights were 1st come 1st served. I booked Thursday figuring we would be there 1st for Friday night. When we got to the site, another family had reserved the site for the following night.
My second frustration was that the camp hostess was very rude. I went to their site to ask about an availiable site we saw on our drive in. She came out of the bus clearly annoyed at my being there. I said that I'd like to take the open site. She swiped her hand across the white board hanging outside the bus door with avaliable sites on it and said there ya go, turned and went back inside the bus.
Other than some rowdy neighbors Friday night, the campground was very clean as well as the bathrooms. My kids had a lot of fun.

Campsite 7 is the worst campsite I have ever stayed in. No privacy, very dark, and lots of noise from neighbors on all sides.

This area took me back to my childhood experiences at some Forest Service campgrounds in Central Oregon (1970's era). This campground is just the right size, it limits the number of people using the area and makes it feel uncrowded. Over use and crowds are a common problem with many of our recreation spots today. We tend to love them to death literally. It is nice to see that a few areas are managed with this in mind. The vault style toilets were clean and well kept. Thanks.

Camping at Walupt Lake is a family tradition and it's unplugged. Good social atmosphere, plenty of time for solitude and prayer as well as family prayer. The beauty of God's creation is easy to experience. We are grateful to God for it all, praise Jesus.
