Private sites and great proximity to Suttle Lake

Stayed here for 2 nights. Sites are large, facilities are clean. There are designated dish washing stations. Nice mix of sun and shade. While sites are large, there is not a ton of privacy between sites. Only a mile or two to Suttle Lake to enjoy swimming and water sports.

Beautiful area

Dogs are NOT allowed at this campground at all unless it is a documented service animal. Lake is warm and gets crowded during the weekends with the day use visitors. Vaults are kept clean and there are a few potable water spigots in the campgrounds. There is only a total of 9 spots here. Reservation only but you may be lucky if there is a no show and that spot becomes a walk-in/first come first serve spot. Planning on another visit.

Nice Spot

This was a nice spot to chill at. NO DOGS NO DOGS NO DOGS which was a downside for sure. Not really a great boat put in, so if you have somethign heavy, go elsewhere. Drop toilets. Can get SUPER busy, but if you go mid weeks its pretty serene. Small lake so don't expect a huge paddle. Worth it if you're looking for a new lake in the area, but don't expect Cascade views or the like!
