Not the best place for tent camping. Spent 3 nights here. 2 sites were $400 seems kinda high. Great lake and near endless trails!!! That was a positive. The huge negative was the bear activity. All the 3 nights constant bears going through the campground. Kinda scary as an adult but also had kids to worry about. The place just tells you this is bear country. Not much to go off of. No bear boxes an... Not the best place for tent camping. Spent 3 nights here. 2 sites were $400 seems kinda high. Great lake and near endless trails!!! That was a positive. The huge negative was the bear activity. All the 3 nights constant bears going through the campground. Kinda scary as an adult but also had kids to worry about. The place just tells you this is bear country. Not much to go off of. No bear boxes and no dumpsters makes really difficult to put food away. This place is almost worse than yosemite.Yosemite. Final conclusion is we probably won't go back!

Scotts Flat Campground is the perfect place for a memorable experience. If you get lucky and it is not too crowded, it is even better! We have gone twice once in July (crowded), and recently, in their off-season (April). I recommend off-season since you are more likely to snag a waterfront campsite and not have too many neighbors. The waterfront campsites are absolutely amazing. The view is gorgeo... Scotts Flat Campground is the perfect place for a memorable experience.

I recommend off-season since you are more likely to snag a waterfront campsite and not have too many neighbors. The waterfront campsites are absolutely amazing. The view is gorgeous and convenient if you like to swim or have water toys. We enjoyed paddle boarding, fishing having bbqs, and smores. It's really nice to have direct access to the lake it saves you having to travel down to the day use area where parking can be limited. There are clean bathrooms and hot showers.

Waters are muddy, quick sand-ish, restrooms are far few and require a nice hike to find. There is kayak rentals though, drive all the way down the road until it ends and you’ll see the camper trailer that has the rentals available. Reasonable pricing too! Only $60 for 2 hours (as of August 2025). Overall not a bad place to hang out with family or friends. Just be sure to pack plenty of food and wa...

Not a lot of shade along the lake waters.

Nice place to camp, we saw a small bear roaming at night so put your food away. The Lake is nice and blue, you'll have to drive to lake access unless your campsite is at gate 2. Each camp has a fill and dump station for your RV trailer. There are bathrooms and showers available for tent camping as well.
