Amanita Campground

Amanita Campground is located on the west shore near the north end of Cascade Lake. It sets right on the water with a small stream flowing into the lake on the north end of the campground. We had some good luck fishing where this stream entered the lake. This area is heavily forested with underbrush which allows for some privacy even though the campsites are fairly close together. This is a natural setting without lawns and paving.
