We visited this place in mid of June. It was sunny and pretty windy and chilly. We loved this place. There beach is serene, there is a playground for kids, and couple of walking trails as well. There is a nice boat launch area. We didn't camp but I have heard great things about camping in this state park. The convenience store had some hot food and great ice-creams!

Its a beautiful place 2hrs drive from Seattle Drive to this place is so amazing. Lots of camping space along with day campers too. Have a beach for swimming and kayaking. Rental kayak is available onsite for a reasonable price. I like the store onsite for anything necessary. Restrooms are clean. There is a volleyball court and children’s play area. Saw a heating room for winter.you can get wood over the store. Shelter picnic is available too.

Even in the Smarch weather this lake is stunning. Clean bathrooms and dogs are allowed on a leash. Either have a discover pass or pay for the day.

It’s absolutely breathtaking on a sunny day. We camped there in July and went back there again in August before the summer ended. Camp sites are well maintained, and the lake water is so clear! So many fun trails and streams to explore near by the state park!

Is there a place to fill water for the RV? Staying in a dry camping spot.

Danielle Boss | Mar 26, 2021
Luke Hartsock | Mar 27, 2021

There is, the dump station in the north campground has potable water right at the station next to the non-potable water. Also there are ≈30 sites in the north side and likely more on the south side that have water and electricity hookups, but they are still the minority of RV sites available.

We were in the South campground 3 weeks ago and our spot had no shade. If you are curious, you can check out the website and it lists each campsite individually. As far as mosquitoes, those of us who rubbed dryer sheets on our clothing had no bites, but my son who did not use the dryer sheets had bites. So the mosquitoes are out of there!

Milton Hudman | Mar 26, 2021
Darin A | Mar 27, 2021

$32 for about 45-50 minutes forest walk. They offer several different times,lengths and the horses were well behaved. They take reservations so if you want to go longer than the short trip I'd recommend that. Conveniently located at the beginning of the south entrance of the park.
