About
Walupt Lake Campground occupies a scenic high-elevation setting on the western shore of Walupt Lake in Washington's Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The 384-acre lake, the second largest in the forest, offers brook, rainbow, and cutthroat trout fishing, swimming, and both motorized and non-motorized boating with a primitive boat ramp on site. The surrounding hemlock, cedar, and fir forest provides ample shade and privacy between sites. The campground features 42 total sites: approximately 24 standard nonelectric sites with gravel spurs and 18 walk-in tent sites along the lakeshore with beach access. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Vault toilets are available but there is no potable water; campers must bring their own. A day use picnic area is also located within the campground. The location at the edge of Goat Rocks Wilderness provides direct trail access. Walupt Lake Trail #101 follows the northern lakeshore for an easy hike, while Nannie Ridge Trail #98 climbs steeply with outstanding wilderness views. A separate horse camp is available nearby for equestrian campers. Mosquitoes can be heavy early in the season.
