Mosquitos are heavy

It is a beautiful campground and Waldo lake is a treasure to see. Perfect place to sail or Kayak. We noticed lots of trail bikes as well. Bring lots of bug spray and screen tent if you plan to be outside. Mosquitos were very heavy everywhere. Best sites for trailers are first come first serve as most of the reserved spots are too small or on a slope. There are a few good ones though. We reserved 14 but switched to 19, which was perfect for our 31 foot trailer.

A truly special place

The beauty of Waldo Lake is no secret anymore, but this is our favorite of the campgrounds. Beautiful forested sites, crystal-clear shallow water with sandy lake-bottom for swimming, and the Shoreline Trail makes for a great stroll, hike, or trail run. Just make sure to come at least mid-July or later to avoid the horrendous mosquitos of early summer!
