Kawkawa Lake Resort & Campground

Very nice little camping with friendly and helpful staff. What stroke.us the most was the amazing views on mountains and the lake. There is a big playground for kids, too. We loved it so much that we extended our stay for two more nights.

Really like it there. Very friendly and quiet place. Not a fan of the showers but that might be a personal thing

Pros:- The Campground is situated right on the lake so they have a boat launch, ample space for swimming and fishing. Some sites (8 and 13) with partial hook ups overlooking the lake. Great for canoeing and kayaking, seadooing, etc- Clean washroom facility with showers- Each space has a fire pit and wooden picnic table- 2 playgrounds for younger kids. The playarea on the beach is great. Swings, slides and zipline. They also have a pile of sand toys to use for free- close to town and great hiking trails (Othello Tunnels)- Tuck/Candy Shop; cash only- Tent camping available right on the water- Friendly neighbors- Sani Dump on site Cons:- Slightly disorganized admin staff. We arrived and our spot was flooded due to heavy rain; were told to walk around and pick an empty spot; came back to be told that we "can't have that one or that one either". Finally asked them to just give us what was actually available; felt like they could have told us in the beginning instead of wasting time walking around in the mud trying to find a decent spot- This campground is more of an RV Park; so unless you are on one of the lakefront sites you are essentially parked on gravel, sitting pretty tight with your neighbor. I would guess over half of these sites are owned by long timers. Lots of permanent rigs parked with all sorts of patio structures. Different atmosphere; if you're looking for privacy or sitting among the trees this is not the place- No pull through sites. Back in only- Since a lot of people live or own full time; there was all sorts of minor construction going on with their patios and decks; not crazy loud but you would hear the odd power tool, lots of tarps so not really 'pretty'It seems that they are working towards beautifying the grounds so perhaps summer time would reflect a less 'tired' look. Like, others have said this place is great for being on the lake and the views are pretty beautiful. Beavers, loons, lots of Blue Jays. If you can snag a waterfront spot I would give this place a try otherwise you might feel disappointed.

The fishing is out of this world . The coho fishing is crazy . The kokanees was amazing
