I was surprised to find out this was a double site when we arrived. There is nothing on the site reservation or confirmation that tells us this. It would have been great to know ahead of time because we met my parents up there and we told our kids they couldn't come because we couldn't have another car. That was incorrect and they missed out on the first night. Your reservation system should tell people they're getting a double site and that more vehicles are allowed. This was really disappointing. Also, the campfire ring was not cleaned prior to our arrival. 2pm is a very late check in time and given there were 2 hours to clean, it's surprising it wasn't done. In walking around the campground there were several fire pits that still had ashes in vacant sites.

West Lake is a special place to enjoy. The proximity to other attractions makes even that much more special.

Wanted to test out camping with our kids since we hadnt been in years. This was the perfect place for that! Campsites are a little close yet seem very private, being so close to the lake was amazing! Campsites and restrooms were very well maintained. Convenient picnic table, grill/fire pit and large bear locker were great amenities! There were also enough trees for our hammocks. A little too windy to use our paddle boards that day but well definitely be back!

Weather was not ideal, but campsite near the water was great close enough to water for convenience, but far enough from trail around lake to maintain better privacy. Spacing of campsites was also good. Pit toilet on East end of campground was cleaner and maintained better than any we have used in other campgrounds. Thanks to hosts and maintenance folks!

One of out favorite places to go when we can get a reservation.

We had a great time, it was very quiet.
@LishaD2031414B · Camped on Sep 10, 2023 at Campsite #10
We do a lot of camping and all the campground hosts have been very nice. The campground host at West Lake campground was the rudest and displayed the most unacceptable behavior of any host that I have encountered. West Lake campground is a lovely place but I cannot give it more than one star because the campground host ruined our camping trip on the 2nd day.
@LoriM2853870 · Camped on Aug 17, 2023 at Campsite #16
Quiet atmosphere, great campground host, super clean restrooms.
@PamelaM1753071 · Camped on Aug 8, 2023 at Campsite #10
West Lake is beautiful. We have been staying there for over 20 years since they updated the entire camp ground. We seen many camp hosts come and go. I must say no one keeps those out houses as clean as Sharon and Tom did. We come up 2 to 3 times every summer and look forward to many more years.
@JerridO2F416B1 · Camped on Aug 4, 2023 at Campsite #19
Very clean and spacious camp site. Bathrooms close and walk to the lake is short.
@MeghanH4385816 · Camped on Jul 30, 2023 at Campsite #25
Views and lake access are incredible. Run out of coffee? Walk to the grocery story or the visitor center. Great access to trails and other lakes in the area.
@WendyA1441D690 · Camped on Jul 26, 2023 at Campsite #6
Once we got a FF site the campground itself is awesome. That said, getting a reservation is not a good experience! We spent 10 days at Westlake and walked around the Dowdy Lake as well. In the Spring I had attempted daily to secure a reservation at Dowdy or Westlake to no avail. Once here and walking through the Dowdy campground it was very frustrating to see empty sites with 3-7 day reservation dates and no evidence that anyone had ever been in the site. It would be great if sites not occupied the 1st day of a reservation would become available online. In Westlake, the Host made unoccupied sites available for the taking; this did not appear to be happening at Dowdy. Love this place!
@AmandaMA6F7520 · Camped on Jul 24, 2023 at Campsite #10
West Lake is a beautiful area, but if you have kids please know they won't let you swim in West Lake or Dowdy Lake, so there is not alot to keep kids occupied.
@RobertB6182770 · Camped on Jul 9, 2023 at Campsite #10
Pine cone drop on roof. Fyi
@MatthewH260473 · Camped on Jun 29, 2023 at Campsite #16
Great experience at West Lake. The double sized sites are terrific for larger groups. Fishing and boating in both West Lake and nearby Dowdy Lake was terrific!
@SaraDE126E3F15 · Camped on Jun 25, 2023 at Campsite #15
Such a great campsite! Plenty of room and a great view
@JamesK1667053 · Camped on Jun 25, 2023 at Campsite #25
The West Lake campground is always clean and beautiful. One of our favorite places.
@JayK7783297 · Camped on Jun 22, 2023 at Campsite #11

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
