Overall Rating
We visited this campground for 3 nights. Thurs - Sunday. If you have a trailer or RV, this is a good place. Long, level driveways to park. If you are car camping you have plenty of room for 2+ cars. We paid $110 for 3 nights. A couple of issues there would make me think again before returning. There are flush toilets & running water in little bathroom buildings, which is great, however the toilets constantly have issues, so are not accessible (Out of Order). If you are tent camping this presents quite an issue. The current (Summer 2024) camp 'hosts' are kind of useless. After a quiet Thurs. night camping, several groups arrived at the sites near us. Fri night they were up & drunk until 2:00 am shouting and cussing and fighting with each other. The camp "hosts" never drove around before, at, or after the "quiet time" of 10:00 pm. Not once. So the obnoxious campers had free reign. We were in a tent, awake, hearing every single word. It was awful. The next (Sat.) early evening, one of the sites started playing their music super loud. In anticipation of another sleepless night 2 of us went to the camp hosts' trailer and spoke w/ them about the issues of the previous night and the current loud music, and asked them to please come around the sites at "quiet time" to reinforce the campground rules. They did drive down to those peoples' site and get them to turn down the loud music right after we asked. That was it. Again, night fell and no camp hosts. Voices were loud, and the more they drank the louder they got. Another sleepless night. I understand the camp hosts cannot control behavior, but these hosts did not even try. Very disappointing. Also be aware (and this might not always be the case), we had a lot of wasps the minute any food was brought out to prepare. We had a screen tent to eat inside of, or we probably would have had to eat inside our Tent. Our friends who were there w/ a trailer prepared all of their food inside. The highlight of the trip up to Frenchman's Lake was our stops in Chilcoot at Goodwin's General Store {you drive past it on the way to the campground}. What a great place. They have EVERYTHING you might need or forgot at home + gas. There is a coffee/bakery shop in the back. Best cinnamon rolls ever ! There is hot food up front, as well as groceries + ice & literally everything you might need. We drove in from the Campground on Saturday and got ice cream from the 'Chilcoot Frosty' across the street. It is only a 10-15 min drive from the campground. Great place. 10+ You should definitely stop in.
