Beautiful lake with a great view of Mt Adams. Remote location with challenging roads to get there. Great camp host.

The scenery is unbelievable, and the hiking in the area excellent. Be sure to go up to Taklakh Meadows and take the high route, the views are fantastic. The campground is large and sites are well laid out, but it was very crowded when I was there (a weekend in July). most sites had multiple famililies, It was loud (One family projected movies on a sheet they hung up) and unfortunately due to recent staffing cuts at the forest service, there was not a camp host on site which lead to issues like garbage piling up and no toilet paper in the restrooms. Things go bad fast when you have 250 people in a campground and no toilet paper. Probably the most scenic campground in the Gifford Pinchot forest however.

Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, mosquitoes !
The only safe place was in the tent !
Arrived 7/31/22 planning to stay 3 nights. We lasted 2 and bailed out !
Lovely spot at the foot of Mt Adams, nice campground, good tent sites, pit toilets well maintained, friendly and helpful camp hosts....but the mosquitoes, sheesh !
People who knew what they were doing were wearing mosquito nets on their heads and in some cases "all over body" mosquito nets.
I would say don't go there until very late in the summer and hopefully they've thinned out by then !
I was there on a day trip as part of a different camping trip last summer, towards the end of august and there were virtually no mosquitoes at all. But early August this year.... not good at all
