Customer Reviews
I love this campground so much— if you get there at the right time, you can grab a site right by the water! The rates are good. I’ve been coming to this lake with my friends for a long time and it’s one of my favorite places in the world, let alone Washington State. The water is so calm and clear, and is perfect for paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, and fishing among other things. The mountains and forest surrounding the area are wonderful. The patrons of the campground have always been respectful and quiet after dark. Not too many kids either, but it is kid friendly. There is no service, and I hope it stays that way.
The view of the lake, not to mention the easy lake access here, is wonderful! You have to walk everything down to your campsite from your car, and there’s a small hill, so you’ll definitely get your exercise if you’re packing everything back up as suggested because it’s bear country, but it’s so worth the effort! There are way more campsites than I’d have initially guessed, and some are really nicely tucked away, while others are more open and nearer the water. I seriously couldn’t get over how beautiful this campground was the entire time we were there. The road in is pretty rough for about a quarter mile, but still doable with most cars, I think. This was an awesome experience!
Such a beautiful campground, idyllic spot. It's somewhat remote, 1 mile off a road, which is 5 miles off the main road out to Salmon La Sac campground - about a 40 minute drive from Rosyln. I was fortunate to camp here for about 8 days. The campground is basic, just vault toilets, no other facilities. But the location right inside the forest, which goes all the way to the water of the lake is gorgeous. The lake water is completely clear, you can see right through to the bottom. There are 22 sites, spread out along a trail that wanders through the forest. Parking is only a few feet away from the sites, but it is completely walk-in, you'll need to carry your gear a little ways down the hill. It was $14 a night. It's walk-in only, no reservations. Which was good for me, I could stay the whol
Pretty little walk in campground on the shores of Cooper Lake. We were there on a holiday weekend, granted, but it was super busy for how far out it is. There is a hiking trail that goes through the campground so there is the potential for a lot of foot traffic past some of the sites. Some day use areas of the campground also get a lot of use. Don’t recommend trying to fish there as it can get busy in the water where the campground is. Looks like there might be some secluded spots elsewhere on the lake accessible by boat. Typically gross vault toilets.
Camped here 9/24-9/25. Both the outhouses were locked, but otherwise it was great. The campsite fee posted on the campground board was $20, not $18 like it says on the website
