Beautiful lake to enjoy with family, it’s also cheap to stay the night , 18$ per night . I recommend bring insect repellent !

This is an amazing beach and lake. The boat launch is a bit difficult due to the angle needed to back down. And parkingin that area is limited. But the lake is a beautiful place. The water is clear in most areas. Loons, eagles, and other birds seen daily while visiting. Fishing was ok. Lots of tubers, jetskiers during wake hours. The kayaking was very peaceful and it was around 4 miles to go all the way around. Peaceful coves in some areas that boats can't get to easily. Great beach with an amazing swim area. No dogs allowed which was disappointing but understood. Picnic tables and afternoon shade. Great place for the $5 a day pass. There is also a campground located on the lake.

Been going here for 4 years now. Great sites…The bathrooms need to be cleaned more and make sure you get a site that the fire ring isn’t a tall one cause other wise no use to have a campfire. See in pics

Love this place! Very quiet and relaxing in wood with bonfire and tent. Boot lake is fun to fishing off my boat. Many rock bass and bluegill. My kids had awesome time. We will be back soon. P.S. the bathroom is very clean and beach is very clean. Appreciate the campsite host keep it up...

Liked the first trip there,pretty empty and quiet. The second (latest)trip, too many RV type campers, didn't stay. Like to tent camp to get away from kids, dogs....I don't call it camping when you have a tv, bed , kids and pets. Just my opinion.

I got the privilege of helping the forest service clean this campground, it was a great experience. This place is beautiful.

This is a great place to go camping. The beach and lake are nicely set up with a lot of sandy beach along the shore, but a grassy area in the back area. There is convenient access to a hiking trail (I posted a picture of the map showing the trails) from the campsite. The Cathedral of the Pines is also just a short car drive from the campsite. If you want a quiet sanctuary style walk, this is the place to go and the tree's are absolutely amazing. Nearby Townsend provides access to a few items should something be forgotten at home, but overall this campground is smack dab in the middle of the forest with just the sounds of nature and fellow campers at night. I've posted some additional pictures of one campsite that we use regularly. I'll add some more pictures of other sites next time we are up there. Signal is spotty at best for just about every network, but a better signal can be had near the lake. So if you want to connect with the outside world while camping, go somewhere else. If you want to disconnect and really get away from it all then this is a great place to be. Update: July of 2019 saw a large number of trees uprooted and down throughout the campground which forced this campground to temporarily close. This is due to one storm that spawned straight line winds and several tornadoes. Boot Lake campground is closed for all of 2019. 2020 is still up in the air. Speaking with some rangers in the area, their hope is to have this campground cleared and open no later than mid 2020. So if you want to book in January online, it is likely that you will not be able to. I walked through the area in August and there is a LOT to clean up. So mid 2020 actually sounds reasonable. However, the beach and boat landing are still open and accessible, only the campground is closed. This obviously has a low priority compared with all the cleanup required for the surrounding communities. Many residents are still in cleanup mode six weeks after the storm. We will see how 2020 plays out. There are other campgrounds available that were not affected by the storm.
