Great little campground. There is good access for fishing and a solid swimming area. Excellent place to get away for a weekend.

@CricketIE746C4 · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #27

Im leery of giving a great review because at the moment I feel the campground is a secret gem. We had an oversized site with no one in the adjacent sites. We had direct water access which was also secluded. The lake is perfect for SUP and kayaking. Theres a floating platform for swimming near the boat launch. The camp hosts were very friendly and helpful (someone was in our site upon our arrival). The only thing that was mildly unpleasant were the vault toilets but who spends too much time there?

A very quiet, peaceful and clean campsite. We came for a week to get away and recharge and that we did. The camp host was friendly. The boat ramp and lake was a very short walk from our site. We got to see several deer, rabbits, squirrels, ducks and other birds. There was no cell service and that's exactly what we wanted. A cup of coffee and reading a good novel by the campfire. We will be coming back and reserving this site again.

@KimberlyM76848 · Camped on Jul 23, 2023 at Campsite #29

Great setting.

@EmilyS1613279 · Camped on Jul 5, 2023 at Campsite #27

This campground is a gem! The lake is serene and beautiful, with resident loons. Despite the lack of cell service (or maybe BECAUSE of this?) we had a wonderful time. Our campsite was right on the lake, so we could put our kayak into the water easily and often. There were not many mosquitoes, and our neighboring campers were very pleasant.

@DavidC2858387 · Camped on Jul 1, 2023 at Campsite #25

One of our favorite places to camp. Only negative is no cell signal, but for some that may be a plus.

@LaDonnaC6DFB97 · Camped on Jun 30, 2023 at Campsite #28A

This is our family's 4th year camping here, so we obviously love it! Biggest downfall is lack of cell service, showers and flush toilets on reserved side. Biggest asset to us is the quiet lake as we are a kayaking family.

@sherrit2673954 · Camped on Jun 29, 2023 at Campsite #24

My husband and I spent 4 nights in spot 24 and it could not have been more wonderful! large campsites, wonderfully laid out, clean, and beautiful setting. Small boat launch is perfect for small fishing boats. MY husband used to camp here as a kid, and was happy to see it rather unchanged from 25 years ago. The fish are rather over-fished in the lake, but that did not put a damper on our wonderful weekend!

@PeterV7615188 · Camped on May 27, 2023 at Campsite #28B

This camp ground is remote. There is no cell service. Nice and quiet in the sites on the south side. Seems to be lots of fish in the lake, though we didn't catch any. Lead weights are not allowed so get some steel ones before coming. Lake is a good size for paddle boarding, though wind picks up in the afternoon quite a bit. Camp sites are spacious and near the lake. We've been here three years in a row for Memorial Day. In 2023 there were a lot of mosquitos unlike prior years. Also, the trails on the west side of the lake are destroyed due to the fire that came through a couple years ago and then water washing parts of the hillside down. No showers.

Had a great time there for our wedding reception. The camp sites are great, the pavilion and huge camp fire pit really came in handy. Will be back

@DonaldK3897885 · Camped on Sep 26, 2022 at Campsite #28B

Recreation .Gov only shows the sites at Bonaparte lake which can be reserved. Even the map of the campground does not show the other sites which do not require a reservation. These gives a person false sense that they must reserve a site through Recreation. Gov with its service fee.

@nancyt2937347 · Camped on Sep 7, 2022 at Campsite #28B

Our site was very clean and had an excellent, large fire pit with flat rocks around the edge. The big main washroom was very clean, well lit, heated (!) and had plenty of paper towels and toilet paper. We loved this campground.

@KerriJ3660855 · Camped on Aug 29, 2022 at Campsite #25

We loved the lake! Our Campspot was very nice as well!! If I had any complaints we did have a decent problem with bees 😔 they did have bee traps or whatever setup which may have actually been attracting them to our site? Not sure but if your allergic be careful this year. The only other problem I had was unleashed dogs running up on us in our own camp spot. If I didn’t have my own dog with us I probably wouldn’t have cared. But my dog is on a lead and very well secured having a big German Shepard running up on him multiple times in our area was not a great experience for him. Even with those couple of issues we will probably be making this one of our yearly go to spots for quite lake camping!!

@TedD9055241 · Camped on Aug 28, 2022 at Campsite #27

27 is the best camp site anywhere I camp. I love it there.

@MatthewR956812 · Camped on Jul 31, 2022 at Campsite #30

Nice spot. Enjoyed our stay.

@JoshuaW2504657 · Camped on Jul 1, 2022 at Campsite #26

Absolutely beautiful location, nice and quite, friendly host are just a few of the reason I will be making the 8 hr drive to stay at this location again! I recommend staying in the loop if at all possible, great views of the lake! Thank you! Ps, no cell service and totally worth it!

@EvaT4036823 · Camped on Jun 26, 2022 at Campsite #29

This is a very nice campground. The bathroom was clean and there was no litter around. Our site was very spacious as were the others in our loop.

@RuthB9803959 · Camped on Jun 23, 2022 at Campsite #24

This place is so magical. Nestled in a lovely forest far from anywhere it is the perfect getaway. After the fabulous camp host, Jim, the haunting loons, and the peaceful setting, my favorite feature is the complete lack of cell coverage. Except for its camera feature, my phone becomes powerless over me. I love it. I would highly recommend this destination for a total vacation. And don't forget to hike the trail to the overlook on the west side of the lake. It is four miles round trip and is well worth the effort.

@MichaelA251288 · Camped on Jun 20, 2022 at Campsite #24

Very nice place and location. Well managed with great camp host, friendly but not overbearing and understands the local nature attractions.

@BrettC1912891 · Camped on Jun 15, 2022 at Campsite #G

We had a great time.

@MichaelS742 · Camped on Jun 20, 2021 at Campsite #26

The site map for the site 26 shows it on the lake side of the road. it is NOT on the lake side of the road. Makes quite a difference. it is a nice pull through site but lacks direct access to the water.

@BobD657 · Camped on Jun 20, 2021 at Campsite #25

Great experience!

@TedD948 · Camped on Jun 6, 2021 at Campsite #30

It snowed in June on us. This is our favorite campground in wa. It’s beautiful anytime of year. Perfect for large campers. Camp host Jim is also very nice and keeps it clean. And doesn’t yell at me when my dogs slip their leash.👍 Can’t wait to get back.

@SonnaN837 · Camped on May 23, 2021 at Campsite #27

Alway enjoy camping at Bonaparte Lake. Little chilly in middle May, expecially in the evenings but well worth the camping experience.

@TerryK263 · Camped on May 17, 2021 at Campsite #30

@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!!!
