A very nice park. We stayed earlier this year on the older (?) side in a double site: a story for another time. When we went to check in, the hosts thought our site might not work for slide outs on both sides, so they suggested we might change to the site next to them. I tried to call the number to change the site, but the message said there would be a 65 minute wait to speak with someone. One of the hosts drove me to the ranger station where the ranger on duty (Shawn) was able to switch our site in minutes. In hind site, there were other sites open that I would have chosen, but we did not know what was open at the time. The hosts were awesome making a suggestion we take our map and circle sites that might be more to our liking and fit our needs better in the future. Bonus for the site we got, it had a water hookup. The only 2 negatives were the signage for the north entrance and the dump station on that side of the campground. We missed the sign and ended up driving many miles to find a good place to turn around. The dump station on the northern campground only had a water tank, so it wasnt optimal to rinse out our black tank. Next time we will go to the south campground to dump. Will we return? YES!

It was very nice and quiet with our dog too! The facilities are good with the back bath house which is newer than the older front bath house which needs updating really bad! Camp grounds are well maintained and the dump stations are great to use before you leave!

Road construction didn't bother us.

Very nice campground! Enjoy it for being quiet after 10pm. Close to attractions in the area.
@BrendaR6941334 · Camped on Sep 12, 2024 at Campsite #24
I want to make sure I can come back and get a great site, so dont come here. Go to other COE campgrounds. This campground is great for me so dont come here. Go to Lake Winnie, Gull lake or Pokegama you will love those campgrounds. Cant recommend it because you will love it as much as I do.

@MARYR4634519 · Camped on Sep 11, 2024 at Campsite #113
Lovely campground. Clean restrooms and showers. A little dated but taken care of. The hosts were friendly and informative.

Great camp grounds with a nice facilities! Usually very peaceful, but this week had a lot of construction on the road next to campground!

Road construction

Great location, facilities, customer help, clean!
@PaulaT1571766 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #100
Park is easy to get around in. Staff are friendly. Bathrooms are clean. Campsites along the road are noisy, but it was our first time. We look forward to trying another site.
@AnnaP5007093 · Camped on Aug 29, 2024 at Campsite #35
We love it here and will return next year!

Lovely views of the lake and great little town across the street.
@CharlesS661433 · Camped on Aug 21, 2024 at Campsite #92
Road construction next to camp was a bit annoying. But it looked like they were close to finishing the project on the day we left.

I was a little disappointed with our stay here this time. The 50 amp circuit did not work and they were not going to be able to get it fixed until 2 days after our stay. Good thing we did not need the AC for this trip. The site was also not very level. We were in a motorhome and the rear of the site was 6 inches lower than the front of the site. Very creative leveling so we did not have the rear tires off of the ground. The camp hosts and rangers were all great people and they are some of the best here at this campground. We had T-Mobile internet service with 5G and had very fast internet on this site.

Cross Lake is a beautiful spot with many lovely campsites. We used a 50-amp electric site to charge our Rivian EV. An excellent means of having a full charge the next morning.
@JenniferW73279 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #116
This was the nicest campground I have ever been too. Linda checking in was awesome! The campsites are big and clean. The boat docks are incredible and spacious. Boat launch and parking were good. Great campground! Nice job Crosslake!

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!!!
