Positives:1- campsite is lake front!2-Lots of wildlife, birds, egrets, cranes, ducks, geese, ravens, deer, etc.3-easy to accessCould be improved:1- while lakeside, the only way to get your watercraft in the lake is either to boat ramp or down a steep crevice right behind the campsite. 2- No shade is this site, bring your canopy3- Road noise is apparent. Overall, I would not book this spot again, maybe another lakeside spot.

Nice place to get away. Water was low, but still beautiful. Camping sites were large and very clean. Will go again in the beginning of the season. Lots of space between sites, so plenty of privacy.

2nd year at site 9. Just cannot ask for a better camping site. We hope to keep going annually. Camp host amazing at handling our site being occupied when we arrived. Bathrooms incredibly clean.

The campground was lovely. Well-spaced camp sites. The grounds were well-maintained. My daughter noted that the vault toilets even smelled nice. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. We ended up not staying overnight as it was our first trip taking 2 dogs - one a recent rescue with anxiety - and they just could not settle. We told our host that we had decided to return home and to please let other campers know our space was available. He notified a couple who were down the road with no campsite. They were very happy to have the site. We look forward to returning and actually spending a few nights at Amanita.

We had an excellent visit to Amanita Campground and Lake Cascade. We stayed here for 10-days in late August 2020, 7-days in site #7 and then we extended by three nights in site #8, a first come first served site, since we were enjoying ourselves so much. This is a very small campground, with only 12 campsites, one set of vault toilets and a couple fresh water spigots you could use for filling your water containers. The vault toilets were well stocked during our stay, but my wife said the ladies room could have used some cleaning; which it did not get during our 10-day visit. Some of the campsites are right on the water giving easy access to outstanding perch fishing! In one day, my wife caught (and released) 31 perch, with each one of them between 6 and 10-inches in length. Campsite #7 was right on the water; perfectly level; contained a fire ring, picnic table and a tent pad; but it did not offer much shade, but that worked well for our solar energy collection. Campsite #8 was across the camp road from #7, so it was not on the water, but it offered ample shade from old growth pine trees as well as a picnic table and fire ring. #8 was not quite level, but we were able to make it work. Cell coverage here was strong with ATT boasting a blistering 102 Mbps down and 15.6 Mbps up while Verizon managed a respectable 10 Mbps down and 4.5 Mbps up. We found the weekdays to be much more enjoyable than the the weekends since the population in the campground, on the lake and in neighboring campgrounds just skyrocketed Friday through Sunday. That meant more noise, less privacy and less serenity. Rainbow Point campground is just a few hundred yards to the north and boasts a boat ramp and a shared camp host for both campgrounds. The camp host did not have any firewood for sale during our visit. THANK YOU RECREATION.GOV FOR MAKING THIS CAMPSITE RESERVABLE!! WE NEVER WOULD HAVE FOUND IT, OR DRIVEN 1600 MILES TO VISIT, IF WE COULDN'T HAVE MADE ADVANCE RESERVATIONS!!!

This is a great little campground with nice views of the reservoir. Our only complaint - we had site 007, which is wonderful and looks great on paper. However, it is right next to the restrooms and the smell hit us hard as soon as we got there and stayed with us throughout our stay. It even smelled all to way to the beach, which was certainly gross.

The site was awesome and had an easy pay down to the lake. The morning view of the lake with my coffee was bliss!! The bathrooms we very clean and even smelled good! Great campground and host. Will definitely visit again ??

A beautiful site right on the banks of Lake Cascade. We were pleasantly surprised to be just a few feet from the beach. We didn’t have much shade during the day, but I believe that was probably unique to our spot as the rest of the camp seemed well shaded. It did stay a little noisy after dark, but was relatively quiet by midnight. It was great to be outside and near the lake, but camp is also relatively close to Cascade and McCall for those looking to explore town as well. It is a popular and well trafficked site, and not recommended for someone looking for a quiet, secluded and private camping experience. However, it’s a great place to spend a few days playing on the lake with friends and family. We will definitely be back!
