I'm glad we were in a self contained trailer. The vault toilets are foul. I haven't been to the campground in many years and I'm sorry to hear that there appears to have been no effort to upgrade or maintain the campsites. If you're OK with uneven, sloped and eroded parking spots this campground is suitable. I love this lake for paddling and we are pretty adept at making it work, but people who are not self contained are in for a rough time. The campsites are clean and mostly bug free so that is nice. Watch out for the bold gangs of gray jays.

Tha campsite was wonderful we love going to this lake. Unfortunately this time no fires but made the best of it. We go go here because I love to Fly Fish and this is a fly fish ONLY lake but my biggest complaint is that I saw many people fishing but not fly fishing which takes away the whole purpose of this special place.It’s too bad that people don’t follow the rules and mess up a good thing and place. This is a place I go every year to fish now not sure if we will want to continue our yearly fishing trip down from Washington.

We actually had sites 1 and 3, which are our favorite sites at Hosmer. They're roomy and have more privacy than most of the others. The down side potentially is they're not close to the boat ramp. We were pleased to see the sizable drop where the pavement meets the dirt road at the access both to the campsites and boat ramp has finally been filled in. That's been an issue for a few years. Also, the camp host, Nell, was a delight. We've camped there for several years, and she was visible, friendly and quite helpful.
