Not great for tents

Great site to connect with the lake, but didn't enjoy the tent spots available. Ground was hard and mostly prepared for RVs.

Hike by morning, water by afternoon!

We really enjoy this campground if you can snag the bigger campsite to spread out!  It has the cleanest pit toilets' I have ever seen (seriously!) Whoever they hired does an amazing job! The boat launch is an easy place to put in kayaks or motor boats.  The trail along the lake offers beautiful views of the lake but had a fire in recent years so a few spots are a bit more exposed to the sun.  The water is refreshing and clean to play in (although cold). The campground does have occasional visitors like cougars and deer. Reasonably priced but book early as sites go fast for the weekends.

Large campground on Sullivan Lake

Noisy Creek is a large campground on Sullivan Lake's south side. It Is run by the U.S. Forest Service so provides lots of amenities. Some of these include a dock, boatlaunch, Day use facilities, trash pickup/bear bins, water, and vault toilets. The site says it has nineteen campsites, but I swear there were many more than that plus 4-5 group sites on the group side. The pricing is as follows: Single site:$20 Extra vehicle:$10 Day use:$5 The camp host had firewood for sale at$8, which is good because you are 20-30 min from the nearest small town. Be aware you are in bear country here so camp appropriately. Bear Boxes are provided in site as well as fire pits, picnic tables and tent pads. The sites are spacious and fairly separated also. With a quick walk to the lake it is a great summer spot to take the family! If I am not camping in the dispersed sites on the north side of the lake I am here. Overall a great campground you should check out!

Amazing views

Sullivan lake has amazing views. The water is clear. The mountains are beyond gorgeous. About 15 mins from metaline falls is a cave that you can take free guided tours. From the cave it's a small hike to Canada. This area is beautiful and definitely an area you would want to book ahead of time. Campsites fill up fast.
