I had to book this 6 months in advance as soon as it became available online, which is always a challenge when camping in WA state. We stayed in camp site #5 right next to the water. This campground is incredible and we got so lucky to be by the water with easy access for our 2 kayaks. We were careful to use the bear boxes for our food. The campsites near the water are very close to each other, but it wasn't an issue and our neighbors were all very friendly. There was a fire ban at the end of July when we were there. You can expect no cell service, some wind during the day on the lake, no showers, and clean restrooms. Do note that the main road is right near by and you can hear cars and trucks going by during the day. At night it is fairly quiet though. We absolutely loved how stunning it is here and how we had access to hiking and a day trip to Winthrop!
