Anglers and canoe-paddlers who self-supply water will find this place hard to beat. Rainbow trout and kokanee salmon are stocked regularly, limits come fast per reviewers, and the boat ramp at Hemlock Meadows is half a mile around the east arm. Fall weekdays are the sweet spot: c
No potable water on site, period. Bring every drop you'll need, or filter from the lake. Generator noise from travel trailers can travel through the hilltop sites, so tent campers who booked expecting silence should pick a site away from the RV rigs. The access road has single-la

The elevation is 4,400 ft. The campground stretches along a hilltop beside Hemlock Lake. However, the lake is hidden from view by the lush forest. Although called Hemlock Lake, various fir trees surround the lake and provide ample shade to the campsites. Widely spaced and screened by a thick middlestory (dominated by maple trees), sites have good privacy. Hemlock Lake is man-made and holds water all season making it a good canoeing place. Possible day trips are Yakso Falls, Hemlock Falls and Clover Falls. Gas and limited groceries are available at Peel Store, 28 miles west of campground on County Rt. 17.
Services provided May 15 through October 31 - weather dependent

Fall delivers the best conditions, with daytime highs in the mid-40s to mid-60s°F and nights dropping into the mid-20s to low-40s°F. The maples turn color, fishing stays calm and scenic, and crowds thin out, especially on weekdays. Bugs are minimal. Spring and summer work fine if you don't mind more people. The campground closes in winter when temperatures drop below freezing.
Fall 'delivers the best conditions' with maples turning color and calm fishing.
