Really enjoyed this campground! Bathrooms stayed cleaned and stocked. Love that there are so many hikes in the areas as well, for all hiking levels.

Spacious campsite, quiet, very close to the ranger station and town of Newhalem.

Very relaxing place to vacation, walk trails of interest, explore the past re: bringing electricity to Seattle, ancient hunting of Indigenous Americans and more.

Such a lovely campground. It's a great campsite. My husband and I stayed here to get an early start on Thornton Lakes before we had kids. Once the kids were old enough to camp, this was the first place that came to mind. We were thrilled to discover how many family friendly trails were at our fingertips.

Beautiful campground with big sites. Restrooms were clean. The water refill and dump station was closed. It would have been nice to have been notified before we got there so we could have taken care of things.

Well spaced sites, everything at my site was clean. I did not use the facilities. It was hot, so electric hookups would be helpful - especially as it seems we are getting more hot weather up there despite being in the mountains.

One of our favorite campgrounds. Been coming here almost yearly for 26 years! Bathrooms are clean, sites are large and fairly private. Lots of places to hang hammocks. Lots of family friendly easy trails within and near the campground. Ladder Creek Falls in nearby Newhalem is a must see at night with the lights. Take the drive up Hwy 20 to Diablo Lake accessing it from Colonial Creek campground.
