This was such a peaceful, relaxing campground. The sites are large and spread out- so you aren’t too close to your neighbors. The lake is beautiful and there are walks and hikes nearby. It was very clean and the host was friendly and helpful. The long drive up the mountain on a gravel road is worth it to be completely unplugged in a beautiful part of Washington state.

This is a very beautiful area but know that there is 20 mi of hideous forest road. It takes about an hour to get to the campsite. Individual sites are fairly large. We were backed up to the wilderness with no site on one side so we only saw the people across the road from time to time. All sites are shaded, so if you are relying on solar power..... you're not going to get it. The insects are something to work with, having a fire going at all times for the smoke and lots of bug spray. The only water available was by the host, all others did not work.

Overall we had an enjoyable time. We came prepared for the water outage that occurred prior to our stay so did not have any issues there. The kids had a great time wading and playing in the lake. The water is so clear and clean!
Several of us hiked to Nannie Peak and then completed the Walupt Lake Loop, taking the Nannie Ridge Trail to the Pacific Crest Trail and then south to the Walupt Lake Trail. It was a beautiful hike, the skies were clear, and the mountains were out in full view! It was well worth the 9-hour, 15 mi hike!
The mosquitoes were ferocious though, so come prepared with lots of bug spray!
