Our absolute favorite place on earth to camp! We go as much as possible in the summer! If you enjoy tent camping... this place is it!

This place is amazingly serene and beautiful. Water is crystal clear and we have really good time here. Discovery pass is required for parking.

Beautiful, safe, calm, well taken care off park. The water is crystal clear. We went towards the end of Sept and as a californian it was too cold to get in the water. My kids did but after a while they too were cold. There was other people paddling on the lake. Bathrooms were well taken care of. Ranger was always on site and even though it was annoying that they would come to quiet us down after 10pm, it felt safe. The camp sites are nice and spacious.

We camped here on a Thursday night successfully escaping the rain in western Washington. We had the section we were in mostly to ourselves and had a nice little campfire. Overall, enjoyed our one night stay here. Walked on a nearby trail and along the beach. We even had some cute ducks visit our camping spot 🦆 🦆 🦆

booked a partial hook up RV spot. can i tent camp on it without RV? Might not have an rv next summer but would love to keep the reservation

Tatiana Jacklin | Apr 6, 2020
Gary Suderman | Apr 7, 2020

You could call the State Parks department and ask. When I went it was a week day and end of season for most boating so the RV camp sites were empty. Never saw anything but boats at launch, no campers.

Christine Moorewood | Jul 10, 2021
Trevor Samuelson | Jul 11, 2021

Their hours of operation are limited though. Check hours if you want to do it in person. I was there camping for a week recently and they were completely full for days at a time. They turned quite a few away. With this heat it's a popular spot. Would recommend a secondary plan in case.

Are dogs aloud on the beach?

Annie Johnson | Apr 6, 2021
JP Patterson | Apr 7, 2021

It's a pristine (relatively) fresh water lake ya know. Just. try your best to keep it in the same or better shape than when the you found it. One way would be to give your dog a bath before the trip, if you want to let it roll around on the beach or swim.
