Roads are awful, bathrooms are disgusting, no maintenance, the state is racking in the money and doing nothing, trees need trimming.. And the booth is closed half the time. Very frustrated, we have been coming to Eighth Lake for 60 years .

Great campground. Stayed there for 10 days. The showers were old and not to clean but this will probably change in the future. It’s pretty quiet during the week and is overall not that busy.

Not for glampers only real campers no power . I prefer roughing it but the lake is absolutely beautiful and the sand covered bottom is delightful. The lake is very large and offers an awesome paddle trail for canoe or kayaking!

Beautiful, rustic campground. Very quiet due to no electric. Great place for down time. If you camp here, take the trail that starts at the park and leads to Bug Lake. It's a easy and beautiful hike.

Not in the campground no. There are trails to hike from this campground to black bear mt or to bug lake. In the winter you could get back there on the roads or trails on anything else though

Are there bear lockers at the campsites?

Not at Eighth Lake. My husband has camped at Eighth Lake his entire life, and I have joined him for the past 10+ years. We have never had a bear problem, we are just smart with how we handle food. We always keep our coolers and food inside the vehicle at night with blankets over them. Limeklin I think does, because they have a bad bear trail through their site?

Is the campground selling ice this year?

There are also two other lakes you can hike to from 8th lake campground eagle and bug lakes. There were canoes left along both lakes with nobody around. Great wilderness area.
