Lakefront Tent Sites

If you are a tent camper and want to camp here, be sure to get walk in sites 30-32 for an enjoyable stay. If you do, you'll enjoy your own private beach secluded from any neighbors on any sides. Swatches of forest separate you from the nearest site and you'll have and expansive sandy beach all to yourself. We stayed in site 30 and loved it. It was amazing to step out of my flip flops and onto my paddleboard on my own private beach and paddle in the early mornings and at dusk. And site #30 features a beautiful view of Mt. Thielsen (I don't think 31 & 32 had this feature). 

However, if we had not reserved far in advance and had to stay in the "tent village," we most surely would have been disappointed. Plan ahead because it seems the secret is out - these sites fill up 2 months + in advance. The RV sites seem ok but none of them are lakefront. The general vibe of the KOA is good, the store has some pricey supplies. I would recommend having everything you will need for your trip because the closest grocery store is 60 miles away. 

The only downside for the walk-in sites is that the bathroom is far away; it's maybe an 8 minute walk to the flush toilets and showers. They put portapotties near these remote sites but by the end of our few-day stay the smell of the portapotty chemicals was really starting to bother us. But overall, we will definitely return for one of the walk-in sites, and would consider renting one of the lakefront cabins as well. 

Cell service - AT&T had full bars. Note: it's a very short walk down a steep little hill from where you park you car to this site.
