We went for Mark’s birthday so this was very early in the season and we were therefore the only people there. We did not make a reservation but because there was still snow on the ground, it obviously was not a problem. We had to drive through a snowy pass and most of the campground roads were snowlogged and we could not pass through so we chose a campsite right on the lake.

Suttle Lake is very beautiful and serene. Some of the sites right on the lake are pretty windy so we opted for a spot across the road. Its likely very popular in the high season for fishing and boating - there is a widely used boat dock amidst the sites.

Suttle Lake Lodge is about a mile up the road and is a wonderful spot on a rainy day. The main lounge is dog friendly, had a great food menu and full bar, and tons of card and board games to play while waiting out the rain. Its a full hotel with rustic cabins as well but we did not get to take a peak at those but I bet they’re very cozy.

Pros:

• Beautiful lake - probably very popular for swimming in high seasons
• Great fishing
• The Lodge was the best to wait out the rain

Cons:

• Campsites are close together, there isn’t much privacy
• Pretty long drive (~3 hours) - good for a long weekend
• Pretty cold and snowy in April, I would like to return in mid-summer
