First time here I have been wanting to go for years. Since this is the last year I could go because I need a kidney transplant. So I reserved two spots for my family and it was great. From going to the boat House for breakfast one day with live music the night before to relaxing and just watching nature. We all had a great time. Maybe someone will donate a kidney and I'll be able to go back again... First time here I have been wanting to go for years. Since this is the last year I could go because I need a kidney transplant.

It is one of the best places in my opinion to camp here, the hosts from hoodoo really care about what they are doing and make sure everyone is happy and informed of what's been happening around the lake and surrounding areas and reccomneiding other great places to camp in the area.

We just stopped here for one night. Unfortunately it was very smoky from the nearby wildfires. Nice campsites though. Close enough to the resort to walk there via the trail around the lake. The resort was nice, the lodge looks amazing and we had a draft beer and some snacks at the Boathouse. The resort rents boats, kayaks, cabins and lodge rooms. We brought our own kayaks and launched from the li... We just stopped here for one night. Unfortunately it was very smoky from the nearby wildfires. Nice campsites though. Close enough to the resort to walk there via the trail around the lake. The resort was nice, the lodge looks amazing and we had a draft beer and some snacks at the Boathouse. The resort rents boats, kayaks, cabins and lodge rooms. We brought our own kayaks and launched from the little boat launch that is near the campsite. We walked part way around the lake, probably half and it is a very nice, well kept trail. This time of year, August, there were lots of yellow-jackets...bring your trap! There is another campground on Suttle Lake called South Shore. It looks bigger than this one, Blue Bay, but it is further away from the lodge/resort. We stayed in site #22. It had enough room for our camper van and our friend's truck camper. The picnic table is uphill from where you park.

Great campground with lake front tent sites. Main road is a little noisy with big trucks but the view pays off.

Lovely sights, clean fresh air. Lots of wildflowers and ponderosa pines. Kinda a bummer that we heard the highway the whole time
