Customer Reviews
I’ve been camping at North-South Lake Campground for decades. I return almost every year. For those who like hiking and beautiful vistas, this campground has trails to suit hikers of all different skill levels. There is a terrific day use area with grills, picnic tables, bathhouse and beach where people can picnic, BBQ, swim and enjoy the day for a small fee. The campsites are wooded and spacious with fire pits, picnic tables and well maintained, modern communal bath houses in each site loop.
We stayed in loop three Father’s Day weekend we been going to North/South lake for years, the staff to the great job cleaning the bathrooms. Have to say, you must take the bear warnings very serious a group next to us had a pickup truck Torno cover ripped apart by mama bear to get food for herself and her cubs. take the bear warnings serious put your food away the following night on Sunday we were there basically the only ones sitting by the fire turned around and there was Mama bear less than 8 feet away. Definitely was a scary situation and unusual that they will come around while you’re sitting there with a radio on we hadeno food out everything was all put away luckily scared her off and she turned around the Cubs came down the tree they walked away.
We enjoyed our night here, the sites on loop #7 were quite large and decently spaced. Of course sound travels and so a lot depends on your neighbors, overall we got lucky. Washroom had a nice sink for dishes and hot water. Pretty easy camping. The other loops are closer to the lakes and slightly smaller and closer together. The lake was pretty low at end of summer. The Park is pretty nice with a fair number of healthy hikes available.
I spent my childhood summers camping at North Lake, and decided to go back after a long hiatus. Everything was just as beautiful as I remembered. I got a little water site (29) just based off map location, unsure of what it would look like when I got there. It was absolutely stunning, with a little mossy creek beside it that looked out into a thick forest. Neighbors are close enough that you feel safe from bears or predators (I was solo camping), but far enough that you feel like you have privacy. The attendants at the front were informative and kind. The bathrooms were clean and bright, albeit on the older side, but that's to be expected from any campground. The beach at North Lake is still as beautiful as I remember too, with lots of space to sprawl out and adore the beautiful mountains
Been coming to North South Lake for many years. On 10/10/2025 Had a issue with the campers in site 174 after quiet hours. Playing loud music, and very very loud til 3am. 10am is quiet hours! I was kept up all night with nonsense I Called the check in booth, was told by Karen, (always very obnoxious and rude by the way) she said she would send security and no one showed up! This year sadly, the employees at check in are very disrespectful, never was this way at all! This used to be a great campground but going to pieces fast! Management wants us to follow the rules and I expect Management to also follow the rules to protect other campers and follow the rules they put in place themselves. Dont lie and say you are gonna send someone and dont! Forest Rangers are great but the check in desk
