helpful camp host and overall great spot

@JamesM9879118 · Camped on Aug 12, 2024 at Campsite #19

Great time at Blue Bay campground at Suttle Lake! First trip in our new trailer. Hoping to get out in the kayak and do some fishing but the wind was blowing white caps on the lake! Our spot, #19 was right next to the boat ramp and very secluded from most of the other camp spots.

Beautiful Campground.....the restrooms were horrendous however, hundreds of flies in each one, pretty bad smelling as well, there are two other Forest Service campgrounds nearby within walking distance and their restrooms were in great condition, no flies or smell, seems strange that of the 3 campgrounds on Suttle Lake that Blue Bay had essentially unusable restrooms...

@NeilM4731983 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #14

Great quiet location

@AngelaC1480345 · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #21

SITE 21 & 20 ARE ON TRAIL AROUND THE LAKE. EXPECT TO GREET EVERYONE WALKING ON THE TRAIL & THEIR DOGS. CAME BACK TO CAMP AFTER VISITING THE LODGE TO HAVE A WHOLE GROUP OF 20+ PEOPLE SET UP LIKE IT WAS DAY USE. BATHROOMS WERE UNUSABLE DUE TO THE STENCH.

@MelissaB359768 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #6

Great location for all kinds of activities. Some of the sites are small for trailers so watch the length. Only issue was garbage cans were overfull when we arrived and not emptied during our stay and one of the smaller pit toilets was about to overflow. Needed more services to support the number of people staying here in the summer.

@Constance983FC · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #16

We've been to Blue Bay several times. We were disappointed this time. The vault bathrooms were very full and needed to be cleaned out. The smell was atrocious. We were there Thursday until Sunday in June so there is no reason that they should already be full. Our campsites 16 and 17 had poor fire pits - other sites have had their's replaced with circular ones and the picnic tables were concrete instead of the horrible worn out wood ones.Nice campground but needs some tlc.

@WillisR41BF82D · Camped on Sep 8, 2023 at Campsite #10

Site we got (10) was really hilly, difficult to get a good position for the family tent. A few stumps in the site as well were termite homes, so the ground was crawling. The bugs didn't really bother me that much, they're just doing their thing, but it could eek some others out. Site would be fine for a pull-through camper or smaller tent though. Other sites would be better for us with our large basecamp tent.

We were here in August and there were relentless huge numbers of wasps. We couldnt cook or eat any food without being swarmed. Had to eat in the car. Also slight wind shifts very easily brought in the smoke from the fires south of the grounds. Night time got much better for the wasps. Beautiful spot but recommend going during a time the wasps are less active.

@JaniceP726A3F7 · Camped on Aug 16, 2023 at Campsite #22

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. 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 there were lots of yellow-jackets...bring your trap!

@SarahK3888645 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #19

Fantastic location with amazing access to the water. We really enjoyed paddling down to the Boathouse at Suttle Lodge for soft serve in the afternoon!

@ShirleyF260089 · Camped on Jul 31, 2023 at Campsite #12

It was very good to find an algae-free lake for my dog to wade in. Wonderful privacy, big trees - national forests are my favorite campgrounds because of this. A loose dog situation across the road was resolved when I spoke to the owner. But yuck, the outhouses really needed to be pumped out, both at this campground and at the other Deschutes Forest campgrounds that we visited on this trip.

@SteveR5952407 · Camped on Jul 23, 2023 at Campsite #20

Nice lake, campgrounds not well maintained, roads need repairs and our site was right in the middle of day use parking lot, people everywhere. Will skip this one next time.

@MadisonW817980 · Camped on Jul 23, 2023 at Campsite #19

Very well kept campground. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked and trash cans were not full, we got to see the fish cleaning station get cleaned also. We drove around the other near by camp grounds and Blue Bay was the best kept.

@Catherine23373 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #17

Great location, clean, pleasant smelling restrooms, good walking trails, great camp hosts Diana & Rocky, nice improvements since last year.

@SandyH8798553 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #21

Large, clean campsite and beautiful view of the lake. Excellent

@RichardM509620 · Camped on Jun 26, 2023 at Campsite #15

Blue Bay boat launch is very shallow and the ramp is in poor condition.

@KimF3194839 · Camped on Jun 25, 2023 at Campsite #9

We stayed in site 9 which has a beautiful view of the lake even though it isn't waterfront. The site is large and level. It is right next to the bathroom and you sometimes get some bathroom smell, but overall a great site.

@KariHA077D9695 · Camped on Jun 23, 2023 at Campsite #22

Cleanest bathroom in years - new camp hosts are great!

@Catherine23373 · Camped on Jun 11, 2023 at Campsite #3

There are some wildly uneven sites in this campground but we were able to elevate enough. Most sites tags were not updated so would be impossible to drive thru and know if there was an empty one. We got cel service. The trail around the lake was great. Free music on mondays at the lodge (easy walk from this camp ground)

@CainR1DDBCCD96 · Camped on Jun 11, 2023 at Campsite #20

Great spot with lake front view. Trail around the lake was great. Able to ride bikes for many miles without ever hitting the main highway. Stopped by the Boathouse a couple of times. Will book again.

@JamesT8733204 · Camped on Jun 4, 2023 at Campsite #21

Stayed at Blue Bay space 21. Description stated a 63 foot pull through. However this pull through is shared with another campsite. These two campsites are beautiful but are better suited for tent camping. Our travel trailer took up most of the parking so if a second rv had showed up it could’ve gotten messy. Fortunately our camping neighbors stayed in a tent so it all worked out.

@Christoph76212 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #8

A very nice site for a small trailer or RV. Easy access to the lake and path that goes around it. This is a shady sight so you won't get much solar regeneration on your batteries (if you have that).

@CarolynH139628 · Camped on Sep 14, 2022 at Campsite #7

We live about an hour from Blue Bay CG and it is one of our favorites. It is clean, quiet and close proximity with walking trail to Suttle Lake Resort.

@ElaineM7337254 · Camped on Sep 7, 2022 at Campsite #20

Nice spot, great view. Lake trail is right along the edge of the site so lots of people walking by, not so bad all very friendly. If they all have off leash dogs they run through the camp site. That's annoying.

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!!!
