West Tensleep Lake

Beautiful place.

It was SUCH a quiet campground.... the lake was very peaceful, hardly anyone out there. We saw moose, we hiked from the trailhead to find a waterfall... it was beautiful!
The road is rough getting back there and there was no camp host to ask about trash or to buy fire wood as advertised.

Awesome campsite! Website warns that there is a severe grade, but we didn’t really notice in our camper or tent. Very beautiful and close to West Tensleep Falls and the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area. Restrooms close by and very nice and clean. Rained while we were there and no flooding at our campsite. We’d stay there again!

Amazing campsites, very flat sites for tents. One of the most quiet places i've ever been.

Clean and quiet

Nice small campground with only 10 sites. I was only able to reserve for one night but was able to find an open site available on the next day but had to move my camper. Bathrooms very clean. No host on site, no trash containers so we took our garbage with us.

This was not our first trip to this campground and it won’t be our last. We experienced some intense rain showers but it was no big deal. We love camping here. The host never introduced himself, which is ok. He kept the bathrooms clean and kept adequate firewood available for purchase.
I’m choosing not to give 5 stars because the reservation system at this campsite is ridiculous. While we camped, we were one of 3 parties who actually occupied our campsite. The remaining sites sat vacant for multiple days in a row. Dozens of other people driving through would have loved to occupy the sites, but they could not because they were reserved. I am strongly in favor of reserved sites becoming available as first come first serve after 24 hours of not showing up. It’s only fair.

Great spot. Just far enough off the grid.

Our stay was quiet and a clean campground. A lot of mosquitos -- so a head net was very helpful. Nice spot to paddle board, and fish. Many folks heading up into the wilderness from the parking lot provided nearby.

Overall a very cool small campground right on the lake. Bathrooms were very clean. Day users parking and going through campsite at times was annoying and I feel quite disrespectful. Watch out for the moose we saw two.
