"Campers consistently praise Sakatah Lake Campground for its roomy, well-spaced tent sites, extensive trails and easy access to the Sakatah/rail-trail for biking and paddling. Reviewers note the park is dog-friendly, scenic and wooded, with nice bathrooms and hot showers. One reviewer did point out there is only one shower house serving about 65 sites."
