South Skookum Lake Campground

The camp hosts harrassed us the whole time we were there. We were going to stay a week but left after three days. I asked what the problem was and he said my kind didn't belong here. Referring to my skin color I think. I asked for a refund for the two days I paid for but wasn't going to use and he started yelling and acting crazy. Couldn't get out of there fast enough. Followed us a half mile away from the campground.

We stayed outside number for which is close to the entrance. The beauty of being so close to it there is cell service so if you need to get in contact with anyone, it’s about a two minute walk.

This is a small campground with about a mile and a half. Luke goes around the lake, which is a easy hike. I was able to carry my newborn on a pack and didn’t die. Lol.

 The lake is very small and his non-motorized vessels only.

This is a little hidden gem, my wife and I go to every year. I think more people should enjoy it as well.

Used to go as a kid with my family and learned to canoe as a kid with my Grandfather. I've wanted to take my kids and family back ever since!!

One of our favorites on a month long camping trip cross country. The lake was great for a swim and to play fetch with our dog. The place was nearly empty when we arrived so we got to pick what to our knowledge was the only non-tent site a slight view of the lake. Bathrooms were clean. No showers. A tad buggy but not too bad for being near a lake. Didn't get to do the trail because we didn't bring bear spray as a sign at the time advised. You drive for a bit down a dirt road to get here but the Google Maps directions were pretty spot on (slightly off at the end but there was signage to help navigate). A nice coffee shop in the nearest town too.

We stayed in site 8. It’s near the restrooms and water.

The lake loop takes about 45 minutes to complete.

Love this campsite. Very remote, and private. This campsite has the cleanest restrooms I have ever seen. Gets cold at night and will rain at times, but other than that the campsite is beautiful.

Small campground but private sites. Pit toilets were the cleanest I’ve ever seen. There is a nice trail that goes around the lake where you will see a variety of wildlife. No cell service or hookups. There is one manual pump water fixture. Fishing is limited to trout.

Was passing through from Priest Lake, and landed on this campground. I normally camp at North Skookum (which has always been amazing) but wanted to give this one a whirl. It was perfect for me! Camp host very friendly, plenty of wood available throughout campground, and bundles for sale as well. Very clean. Restrooms are very clean, garbages were easy access and bear safe. I love how private the campsites feel! Thick trees are always a plus for me. Easy fishing access. So beautiful. Highly recommend!
