Kinnikinnick (Laurance Lake) Campground

Went there for the 7 mile trail around the lake. Very gorgeous up close view of Mt. Hood and a neighboring mountain. Not steep really, easily did it in 3 hrs. Coming into the lake the road is kind of thin and dusty for 2 miles. Makes u think your driving to a quarry construction site but manageable.

Campsite 001 07/10/22 The camp host David and Park Ranger Steve were friendly and helpful. Site 001 was beautiful and had easy access to the lake that was just stunning! What was unbeknownst to us and were not included in other reviews, is that there is a path very near our campsite that led to a small beach next to our campsite and MOST of the day users parked by our campsite and accessed the path to the beach. They were loud and obnoxious till 8:30pm when they left. It really is a beautiful campsite but having day users walk back and forth so close to our campsite makes me think twice of choosing campsite 001 and will choose another site away from day users. The dirt road to the campground was treacherous at some places. Check campground for alerts before arrival. The lake again was beautiful and the campground a rare gem.

Beautiful lake, and quiet campground. It is walk-in. We stayed in site 19 and it was closer to the parking lot than some sites. It also had 2 great flat tent spots.right now, it is very busy for the week days, but after COVID dies down, I think it might be less busy. We took an easy 6 mile hike up the ridge that overlooks the lake. If you like wild blueberries, there are plenty up at the top.

Beautiful campground, can get windy at times other than that just great. The hosts are terrific and very informative. I recommend sites 17,15 and for first come first serve sites 1 and 2 are very nice.

Beautiful old forest with streams, and a lake and fishing. The host was great. Thank you!
