Clean, spacious sites! Only drawback about the sites that are around the lake are really close to the trail and lots of foot traffic.

Camp near the lake if you can. The trail around Trillium Lake is an easy flat trail with some new boardwalk sections.

We stayed at site 004. It was really nice, with a little path right down to the lake, as well as access to the trail that loops around the lake. Super beautiful views. Our site was flat, so no need to level out the vehicle. Just popped the wedge tent and got set up. Lots of room to kick back and relax, even had a picnic table so we didn't have to set up our table. I wish we had gotten to stay another day, but the booking was pretty tight. Seems like a very popular spot. Bathrooms were fine for us, pretty clean for the vault type toilets honestly.

Great campground except for the “over-the-top” checkpoint they have had for the last couple of years and the lack of oversight to enforce the quiet hour regulation.
