Overall the experience was good

@MaryroseW9E8FA · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #3

We loved this campground last year. This year we got a different site #. This spot had no trees for shade and not a single place flat enough for a tent. So we headed home. Super disappointed.

I loved this campground and campsite. Many trees were removed but there were still enough left. Right across the little road is a secluded grassy spot to sit overlooking the lake. There is a hefty drop to the waters edge but if you go to campsite#10 there is a short trail to a beautiful sandy beach. Great swim spot. Not buggy when I was there mid July.

Positives:1- campsite is lake front!2-Lots of wildlife, birds, egrets, cranes, ducks, geese, ravens, deer, etc.3-easy to accessCould be improved:1- while lakeside, the only way to get your watercraft in the lake is either to boat ramp or down a steep crevice right behind the campsite. 2- No shade is this site, bring your canopy3- Road noise is apparent. Overall, I would not book this spot again, maybe another lakeside spot.

We identified a large amount of Poison Oak and Poison Ivy in the camping area. Some of it right in the campgrounds. There was a sign warning about bears, but no sign warning about the very harmful plants. We recommend posting warning about the poison oak and poison ivy.

The campground was nice and area was beautiful . They cut down quite a few trees. We brought our rv trailer which is 29 end to end and it was very difficult getting into our site due to the placement of rocks making it difficult to turn. I like how close it is to Tamarack. We probably wont go back to this site because the sites are so small.

@MattS1245099 · Camped on Jun 7, 2024 at Campsite #4

They cut down almost all the trees. Plan on lots of sun. Great campground though and right on the water.

@CaitlinL306329 · Camped on Jun 6, 2024 at Campsite #9

Lovely spot right by lake cascade

@BeverlyT120541 · Camped on May 28, 2024 at Campsite #9

We were excited to make a reservation at Amanita again after it was reopened, because we love this quiet little campground. It was sad to see how many trees had to be removed. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay very much. It's a natural setting, close to Lake Cascade. There is a nice fishing bridge not too far away. If you want to launch a small boat, there's a nice spot to do that nearby as well. Cell phone service is good.

Nice campground. Clean facilities, great little beaches along the shore. Site oo2 was a bit of a disappointment. The camper pad is against the grain of the one way road. We had to go the wrong way to be able to back in. The trees have all been cut around the site and along the highway, due to beetle kill. So there's hardly any shade. The picnic table is broken and missing one of the table top slats. Lots of thistle.

@CheyanneSCF066 · Camped on Jul 21, 2023 at Campsite #2

Very clean, quiet, and nice little beaches by the lake to swim and fish. Also close to trails for riding. Very pleased with our stay and we would definitely visit again!

@ChristiF800BBB · Camped on Jul 20, 2023 at Campsite #6

The campground was nice and clean and we really liked the location. We reserved spot number 6 which said it could accommodate a 30 ft travel trailer which was far from reality. We had an 18 ft trailer and could barely get it in the spot with our towing vehicle. The spot was also aimed the wrong direction so (with permission of the camp host) we had to drive backwards through the one way loop just to be able to back the trailer in. Otherwise, its a nice campground and I would go back, but reserve a different spot.

@AliceM783 · Camped on Sep 14, 2021 at Campsite #7

Nice place to get away. Water was low, but still beautiful. Camping sites were large and very clean. Will go again in the beginning of the season. Lots of space between sites, so plenty of privacy.

Beautiful location with tall shade trees, private campsite settings with views to lake. Cleanest vault toilets ever experienced. Friendly host. Some road noise still evident at night. Lake had toxic algae bloom when we were there mid September.

Very nice campground. I stayed in site 5 just off shore of Lake Cascade. Well maintained and camp host Jim was very helpful 🙏. I had good cell connection with Verizon. I would definitely stay here again.

The host wast there but it was amazing would be even better if the trailer spots were longer and and not faced the the wrong direction but will go back for sure

Amanita is a beautiful campground along Cascade Lake. The camp sites are nicely spaced among the trees so that neighbors are not too close. This area is quiet and very relaxing. There are no direct hookups to water, but it is easily accessible. Some sites are a bit tight to get into if you have a travel trailer along with your vehicle.

Just by West mountain road so cars, boats, 4 wheelers speeding by all day and night. Very noisy. But we had beach access so that made up for it a little.

@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!!!
