Chambers Lake Campground

I made my first trip to Chambers Lake after hearing it was considered by the state to be an overpopulated fishing lake. My first success was making it up the washboard gravel road to the campsite in my Honda Civic. When I arrived (2 pm on a Wednesday afternoon) there was only one other tent set up. I was happy with the privacy and picked a spot with immediate access to the lake. As soon as I stepped from my car, I could hear a very distinct overall buzz in the air. As I began to set up camp, it happened. I was swarmed by biting insects, from mosquitoes to biting flies. I realize this is a direct contrast from the “Mike O” review of 4 days ago, but I did have a much different experience and thought I should share. I could not swat them away fast enough. I applied OFF all over, including ru

Great camping spot. Drive to the area is long rocky and dusty. Nice campsites, Nice trail easy access to lake, outhouse was very clean, the firepit was nice. Flat area for tent. Tree's perfect for hammocks. LOTS of Mosquito's one can of bug spray was NOT enough for one night! I would bring 2+ cans. Lots of bug bites but it was worth the fun!

Great Camping spot! Don't get this place confused with other Glamp grounds in Washington. This is real camping. No potable water sources, no wifi, no electrical hookups, 1 vault toilet in the center of the sites. This is not a camp ground that is accessable in the winter due to snow. When you first arrive: First congrats on making it up the washboard access road and on finding the place! Camp sites are not really marked. There are spots that look like a vehicle should park there and flatish spot is near it for a tent. Pick your campsite carefully. If you pick one closer to the water you will have other people wandering through your site to get to the lake. If you pick one near the bathroom you will have people scurrying through your site to use the luxurious vault toilet. There were s

Great campground. Not many people, although it was mid week. A couple shore access to the lake if you want to fish or paddle in a kayak or canoe. Quiet, decently maintained. Free use area. Pack in, pack out. FS oreads can be challenging if not in AWD vehicle. Luckily I had the trooper that day!

I first came late july of 2024. The mosquito's are insanely thick here. Similar to my experience camping in Alaska. I showed up at 7pm on Friday night and it was completely full. Had to set up on the side of the road. Most people staging to go on the PCT. I had first posted there weren’t many bugs at the campsite but I am changing my review. “D Hickey” said it best. There is a distinct buzzing in the air.. I dealt with horseflies, mosquitos, gnats, and anything that could be annoying honestly. Update: I came back June 21, 25 and there was only one other camper. Crazy enough I woke up around 3am to use the bathroom and it’s snowing.. in June. And even still I had mesquito’s and horse flies everywhere. If you come here to fish good luck. I’ve thrown everything I have and have caught one bro
