Was absolutely beautiful. One of the best campgrounds in Oregon. The wildfire took a heavy toll on it, it is still closed but can be accessed via the hiking trails which are open

I stayed at Islet the second week of August. It was busy, but not full. Decent restrooms, nice host, easy to get around with lots of nice walking areas. The islet is fun to explore. Mosquitos weren’t as bad as I expected during the day, but evening and morning they were pretty bad. I wasn’t able to reserve one of the sites near the water, but I was pretty close to the swim beach which was nice for walking over with my SUP. Which, by the way, this is some of the best paddling I’ve ever experienced. In the morning, when the water is calm, the lake is so clear you can see everything on the bottom. The lake being so shallow, and warm (in the afternoon when the sun heats up the water), makes it popular for families with young children. This is my main complaint, I didn’t mind the families so much as all the stuff (floats, blankets, etc) being left behind on the beach and in the water for days on end. Still very memorable to be able to camp and swim in this beautiful lake.

Stacey, the camp host was awesome. Her dog Tripper was a great host as well! Beautiful campground, not for big rigs but excellent for tents, campers, and short towables. Great sunsets. Beautiful shoreline trail below the lakefront campsites.

Wonderful campground! I reserved at North Waldo, went to this one on accident. Got in late. Single mom with 2 teen girls and was frazzled. The host Stacey was so beyond sweet as well as her husband. They offered I stay in there campground. Tons of first come first serve spots. Most better than the ones that you reserve. They helped me set up and put me at ease. Seriously camp hosts with the mostest!! Camp here if you have never been to Waldo before :-)

Wonderful campsite, especially if you get a site that's lakefront. Place is kept clean and neat. The camp host, Stacey, was great. And her dog, Tripper, who engaged my pup for a romping good time. As someone camping alone, I felt very safe and secure. Will be back.
