Great Lake, great camping.

Spent two nights here celebrating a friends birthday party. The weather was a little too cold/windy to enjoy the lake, but the campground is clean and well kept. Fellow campers were respectful and friendly. Cultus is always a great experience.

Great little getaway

Love going to cultus lake with friends. It gets pretty busy at times so if you want a good camping spot then you need to go before the weekend starts. I will let you in on a little secret that Little cultus lake is quite amazing for camping and taking the kayaks out as well. It isn't far from the main cultus lake and it is less busy and better for kayaks!
