I have camped at Wailake campground many times and it is a mixed bag. They shut the water off about 5 years ago, so you have to bring water or get it from the creek. The mosquitos can be bad and this year is the worst I have seen. A screened canopy is a must! It does have some of the most beautiful trees you can imagine, and it is close to hiking trails. It's only $8 per night with a 14 day limit... I have camped at Wailake campground many times and it is a mixed bag.

The only facilities are a picnic table and a glorified outhouse. But I do love the place even with all of the down side issues.

Nice campground for $8 bucks - you can't beat it. The hikes have steep elevation changes so be prepared.

We had the entire campground to ourselves clean tidy and the buckets for fire control or an added bonus. But they really need to install bear proof food canisters.

Overall the campground was great, quiet and beautiful. The road to get there is quit crazy, very bumpy and curvy then straight up from 700 to 2200 feet. No water but has trash cans fire pits and a vault toilet. For 8$ a night you can’t beat it. No one else was there for the three days we were
