Beautiful lakefront campground with large sites

This is a lovely campground right on the shore of Suttle Lake. There is a boat launch, fish-cleaning station, and potable water (a great many spigots!). There two loops: sites 1-18 are in one loop (1-17 are reservable and 18 is the camp host); sites 19-25 are in the second loop (these are walk-up only). All are tent sites. There are two vault toilets -- one in each loop.

Campsites are spacious and each features a picnic table and large fire pit with two tall metal sides and hinged grill that can sit over the fire for cookin'. Sites have a good mix of shade and sunny spots. Lots of mosquitoes! Bring bug repellant!

There is a trail that circumvents the lake. Great for walking/jogging/biking. The lake is wonderful for boating and swimming. There are multiple lake access points along the trail and there is a dock on the SE side of the lake (there might be more but this is the only one I saw).

The only downside is the road noise. The highway runs along the lake and car sound travels across the water. Other than that, this campground was perfect.

One quick note about the toilets: they were exceptionally smelly when we went. I've used more vault toilets than I can count and the smell is never pleasant but this one was particularly foul-smelling. Not sure you can fault the campground for this, so I didn't factor it into my rating (it's possible that one person was responsible for this haha) but I got the impression that maybe they weren't emptied in a while. Could be good for the camp host to know. The toilet area, in general, was well-maintained and clean. No soap or hand sanitizer though so bring your own!

Overall, we had a really wonderful experience at Blue Bay. Would definitely go back.
