This was a very nice experience this year compared to the last 10 years. The best part was having a campground host that was wiling to mow the grass in the camp sites and walking trails. Keeping the grass shorter was beneficial for keeping the mosquitoes and wood ticks down, and pushing the poison ivy away from our legs. A better job still needs to be done about the poison ivy next to the lake access cement steps. There are several down trees that would be available for firewood if we could only use our chainsaws. Our family has been camping annually on Lake Winnie for over 60 years and regard this place as a tradition that started with our Grandfather, Herbert Bartelt in the 1930's. This year we had almost 60 family members there at one time including brothers, sisters, and cousins. How about having a bathroom at the lake's public access? This would be very well used and appreciated by both the fisherman, campers, and hikers. Keep up the good work!

The new campground host, Mike, made our entire trip frustrating and stressful. It was sad that such a beautiful place had to be "cared for" by such an individual. Our entire group of family members, around 100 of us, most who have been coming to the Winnie Campground for over 40 years, had a less than ideal vacation because of his actions and behavior. We can only hope that the Forest Service doesn't allow him back next season. Please feel free to contact me if you need further clarification on the subject.

Clean, well mowed, etc. Good privacy between sites.

@Brandonk1D9680 · Camped on May 10, 2024 at Campsite #10

As I had never been to this campground before I chose a spot I thought I would be able to see the lake and site ten was not the right choice for that...lol...but the grounds were clean and a clean toilet so I was happy with my experience

@DerekGB7F81FB1 · Camped on Aug 18, 2023 at Campsite #22

Good campground. Huge lake side sights but the neighbor campers were so loins till 1 in the morning.

@DannielleAAAC6 · Camped on Jul 21, 2023 at Campsite #17

I have never had such a horrible group of people at a campground. The people at site 15 on 7/21/23-7/23/23 were up ALL NIGHT the whole time and yelling over their music and generator. Thee worst experience due to the inconsiderate, rude, loud people next to us. Their pit bull kept coming to our campsite and we would all 4 of us yell that they need to get their dog and they couldn't hear us over their music. Still they never leashed their pitbull. I'm afraid of them and my dog who was leashed up does not like other dogs none the less a pit bull. Dogs are supposed to be leashed and people need to be quiet while others are trying to sleep. Those people need to be banned. I was not able to sleep at all

We had a great time. Our site #19 had awesome trees so solar power was limited but in the end, we like trees. We were not boating or fishing so it made no difference but access to a boat from the site is limited. The shore was boulders buried in long grass. The view of the lake however from our campsite was perfect. It appeared to boaters it was a load-and-unload daily affair.

@BrittanyA9CCBC · Camped on Jul 20, 2023 at Campsite #27

Great site. Loved it here. Will come back again.

@JasonA1549011 · Camped on Jun 30, 2023 at Campsite #17

Lots of bugs. Mosquitos were bad and the biting flies were worse. Active black bear in campground too. I woke up the first morning to a bear on my site. Bear bit the top of RTIC cooler and put tooth holes in the water jug. No bear boxes are provided. Fishing was terrible. The only thing biting were the biting flies that followed me a few hundred feet off shore. Shore sites are huge and great with water access. All non shore sites are mostly tiny with room for a tent and car. No host so people were doing whatever they wanted. Someone brought a couple of 4 wheelers and a loud two stroke mini bike for their kids to drive around all day and through peoples sites. No firewood to purchase but the grass was mowed. Left a day early. Would not recommend.

It was a wonderful space with deep campsites that had lake access via a walking trail and steps. It was a wonderful place. It was buggy, but that’s what is to be expected and rainy, which was inevitable. Had to not been as buggy and dry it would have been a perfect spot.

@ScottP5976595 · Camped on Jun 7, 2023 at Campsite #11

Bring a lawnmower

@DUANER6180432 · Camped on Jun 4, 2023 at Campsite #26

The boat ramps were almost unusable. People like this campground for fishing and when you can't do that you won't go back. I have used this campground for over 40 years but I don't know if we will go back.

@JoyceL9584625 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #12

We visited last fall and the grass wasn't cut (site 12) and it wasn't this past week either (13). We brought along a weed whip. The wind and cool weather kept the mosquitoes at bay the first day, but we were swarmed the second and third day. We left a day early.

@DianeM6584416 · Camped on Aug 13, 2022 at Campsite #13

The trip this year wasn't so great as we had LOTS of thunderstorms and huge amounts of rain. Ended up cutting our trip short. It would be nice if the campsites were mowed more frequently - especially #13. This is the site we really like but every year that we get there the grass definitely needs mowing. We love camping at Winnie and will definitely be back again next summer.

@AdelineM333991 · Camped on Aug 11, 2022 at Campsite #29

A lot of the campsites have been allowed to grow up with brush and grass. The picnic and bathrooms by the boat landing have been closed down. The lagoon got filled in. It’s just not as inviting as it was a few years ago.

@RyanV8528253 · Camped on Jul 22, 2022 at Campsite #26

Campsite was very nice, beautiful scenery. However there was no host so therefore no firewood to purchase - not a huge deal. The big thing for us was that there was a very large group a few sites over, maybe 15 people between two sites, that partied loudly until about 2/3am every night. Very rude and with no host there our request to them to be quiet after 10pm went unanswered.

@PhillipB572326 · Camped on Jun 15, 2022 at Campsite #28

There was no campground host in the campground and a tree fell down in our campsite which never got removed all week. Overall was a fair week. They finally mowed and lifted the docks after some phone calls and internet threads about the mowing.

@KevinP4445220 · Camped on Jun 1, 2022 at Campsite #13

Grass had not been mowed for weeks if not longer. Pads for tents in campsites are not being maintained.

@DavidM1864120 · Camped on May 13, 2022 at Campsite #29

Great time. Fishing was good.

@ZacharyT948278 · Camped on May 13, 2022 at Campsite #26

Love this place. Not much for “amenities” but that is why I love it. Quiet, clean, abundant nature.

@StevenH4575591 · Camped on Sep 3, 2021 at Campsite #35

Nice sites. Quiet campground with privacy for individual sites.

@STEVENH986 · Camped on Jul 4, 2021 at Campsite #35

Very private campsites. Well shaded with plenty of surrounding coverage. Could use a updated water pump. The hand pump is out dated.

@AmyL112 · Camped on Jun 18, 2021 at Campsite #5

It was a beautiful campground, very peaceful and quiet.. our site was nice and roomy..

@MollyL422 · Camped on Jun 11, 2021 at Campsite #12

Great time at Winnie. We loved being able to swim in the lake and bike all around the campground. Only downside was all the bugs.

@AmyA849 · Camped on Jun 6, 2021 at Campsite #19

Our first week of fishing was excellent on this beautiful lake.

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!!!
