About
This park offers vehicle-accessible campsites, including five double sites and five pull-through sites. The pull-through sites have slightly curved parking and may not accommodate motorhomes over 30 ft.
The gate to the park is closed during the off-season. While there is no gatehouse, an information shelter, telephone and handpump water source are located at the entrance to the park.
The small sites are spread out in a dense forest of Douglas fir trees that provides privacy, shade and a natural setting. Large, mature Douglas fir and Ponderosa pine are found in small numbers. Though the abundance of trees adds to the ambience of the campground, they may also make the entrances to some of the sites a little narrow for some larger RVs. The sites are gravel and have a fire ring and picnic table on a cement pad. There are no BBQ attachments.
The park offers services during the peak season. During this time, all of the sites in Otter Lake campground are reservable and non-occupied reservation sites can accommodate first come, first served customers for one, or perhaps more nights, depending on availability.
Operated by Kaloya Contracting Ltd.
Fees
