We love East Lake Campground. However, it appears that the repairs and maintenance of the facility is lacking. Both men's bathrooms were out-of-order and the waste water receptacles were not draining.

@DavidE7840041 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #19

The restroom situation was very disappointing The mens restrooms were not operational which meant that you needed to wait in line to share the womens restroom

Beautiful lake with some cool rocks!! Nice large campsites with plenty of space for a tent, vehicle, picnic table and hammock. The sites next the lake are ideal.

@GarryM944A2715 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #2

Beautiful location. Small campground right on the lake. Quitet and clean vault toilets.

We had a wonderful time. We will come back.

@WilliamP724185 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #9

Water and bathrooms were closed due to water contamination with no heads up on the problem

@BrendaW8865450 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #3

I wanted to see the obsidian flow. Very cool. It is a nice campground and a beautiful beach at the lake.

@JBP7050824 · Camped on Sep 12, 2024 at Campsite #9

Excellent hosts and cleanliness! Only issue was all the over privileged dog owners that let their dogs run wild and not clean up after them.

@michaelg734741 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #20

Peaceful campground-super clean bathrooms with a heater. A welcome surprise since it was hailing!

@MaryB2951694 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #21

Beautiful park and campground, including clean restrooms. The boat launch at East Lake is useless for backing trailered boats into the lake. The launch is not maintained. Impossible. Thanks to our friendly camp neighbor, we were able to launch our boat with his 4WD at the lodge beach docks. Sandy and soft, but doable. East Lake launch, however, is okay for kayaks, canoes, etc.We have never seen a camp ranger, or law enforcement official during our summer trips, which makes it uncomfortable to deal with unruly campers, unleased dogs, and speeding boaters. We expect more from our National Park system.

The host was were so nice and welcoming. The grounds were very clean and kept up and the campground was very quiet and peaceful at night. We will definitely be coming back!

@WilliamP724185 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #27

No complaints

@BrianF9020222 · Camped on Jul 8, 2024 at Campsite #13

Great spot.

@DennisW7577015 · Camped on Jul 1, 2024 at Campsite #1

Super friendly staff, rest rooms were always clean, and the entire campsite was well managed. A very relaxing stay.

@TracaC2F7EE3DC · Camped on Jun 26, 2024 at Campsite #11

Beautiful, large paved pull-through beach site in this lovely campground on East Lake. Restrooms and camp sites are kept clean and maintained by friendly and knowledgeable camp hosts. I appreciate that they are also diligent with checking for reservations with new folks who pull into the camp sites to prevent squatters. Theyre the best!!!

@GinoG3709568 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #21

Great hosts! Quiet campground with decent fishing and if the fishing is off, lots to do just a short drive away.

@JamesC5011896 · Camped on Sep 19, 2023 at Campsite #7

Excellent and welcoming hosts !! Clean, well maintained bathrooms, and of course the beautiful lake.

@JaniceG3391082 · Camped on Sep 17, 2023 at Campsite #25

The campground is close to the lake and most are nice size. 3 restroom (2 flushes) The docks were out of the water and the lake was at least 10ft lower than normal, Launching ramps were high and dry. Host are very nice couple and keep restrooms as clean as possible. Fishing wasn't very good with the lake so low and lots of moss.

@RobertD9538610 · Camped on Sep 17, 2023 at Campsite #12

Our first time here at East Lake Campground in the last week of September 2023 just 1 day before the park closed for the season. Because East Lake Campground is 6500 feet in elevation the nights were very cold, from 44 to 31 degrees but normally the days were in the morning windy and about 62*. The camp has 29 sites and NO hookups. There is flush toilets, NO showers, but had drinking water. East Lake also had 1 boat launch but the water was very low, some 40' down from the edge of the bank to the water. Great fishing and a great place for kayaks. Each site has a picnic table and fireplace. Most Sites on the lake side has pull-thru that were about 50' long. Some back-in sites were only 35'. Very quite campground and not too close to each others camp site. We camped at East Lake Campground in a Travel Trailer.RestroomsFlush toilets, faucet water. No hookups, No electric, No water hookup, No sewer hookup. You can fill your water tank at the $10 Dump Station so you don't have the weight in your rig.Dog-friendliness. Lots of space to run and play.

We camped at East Lake Campground for two nights. The sites are fairly large, but not very many trees to make them private. Some sites have beautiful lake views. Ours was a partial view (#23). Flush toilets which was a surprise at a forest service campground. We had nice weather but the overnight low was cold! You can walk to the resort. It is a one mile walk, so two miles roundtrip back to the campground. There is a shoreline trail. We went to the East Lake Resort and had some draft beers and a snack. Very good! We also attended the Hunter Noack "In a Landscape" classical piano music concert. It was right on the water and it was fantastic. Stereo headphones are handed out as you arrive, sit anywhere and listen! It was a great experience. There is a boat launch for our kayaks. The water level did not come up to the concrete so it was very muddy launching.

@JenniferS83796 · Camped on Sep 1, 2023 at Campsite #26

Beautiful campground! The spot (26) we reserved wasn't lakefront view as noted. The camp hosts, Kay and Terry were great! They were able to move us to a lake front spot due to a cancellation :) Very kind folks!

@LesleyS9D2225C · Camped on Aug 27, 2023 at Campsite #12

Great location, close to Bend/home. Lake was nice. Hosts were great, very helpful and kept the facilities nice and clean.

@DonH9665943 · Camped on Aug 27, 2023 at Campsite #4

East Lake Campground has been a consistent favorite. A small campground right on the lake with flush toilets - such a great spot.

@NorahB14F27DEC · Camped on Aug 22, 2023 at Campsite #13

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
