Owhi Campground
Reviewed Aug. 3, 2022

Beautiful spot - not worth the trek

Cooper Lake is absolutely stunning and admittedly the campsites are situated pretty well for views and privacy but there are definitely Pros and Cons to this campground.

Pros:

Right on the lake and if not you get a very private site walking distance to water
Great hiking trail

Lake access 24/7

Lot's of big shade trees

No internal combustion motors 

Vault toilets in good shape

Dumpsters

Cons: 

Extremely busy (and LOUD) day use area

Steep hill and trails to all the sites - pack light and even then it is A LOT of work getting into your site

$18 for a walk in site...? eh a little steep for me

Did I mention the loud day use area with lots of screaming kids?

No bear boxes by the lake so you also have to trek your cooler/dry goods up the hill every night to not attract wildlife.

All in All this was a solid 3.5 stars.  There were pros to out weight the cons but in the end if I am going to walk that far to haul my stuff into a site I want it to be pretty remote/serene OR be a little cheaper.
