Gorgeous sunny day. Great food! Celebrated our 51st wedding anniversary. 51 years ago we honeymooned at nearby Paulina Lake in a cabin. ❤️

Had a day visit here. The cabins are nice, the staff are friendly, and the food at their restaurant is pretty darn good. It's well worth the extra drive to make it here.

First timers here at East Lake Resort and I have nothing but nice things to say. From the location to the staff. Top notch. My family and I are out of towners from Washington and was looking for a spot to come over the 4th of July week. I stumbled upon this place through Google maps and decided to give them a call. We booked last min and Miss Kim was very helpful and wonderful in helping me out to get a place. I was skeptical at fist due to the fact that we didn’t have an RV and we are booking an RV resort. We ending up getting 3 sites over 2 days. The Camp Host, Doug and Angela are angels. They were very respectful, kind and friendly. Can’t thank them enough for making us feel comfortable. And last but not least the 2 fellas at the boathouse manning the docks. Jason and Chris. They were awesome, and also friendly and kind. Very informative and very helpful. Keeping doing what y’all’s doing at being 100% kind hearted. We had an amazing time on the pontoons. All in all we had a blast and felt very taking care of. Kids had fun, the adults had fun This is how you run an establishment. Definitely coming back and possible might make it an annual trip. One of the best experiences we had at a paid camping resort. Good job guys!! Hope to see y’all soon..

A place you never want to leave once you get there! Very friendly folks who run it and locals. So helpful and lots to do in the area. Boating, swimming, kayak, paddle board, fishing, etc. Lots of hiking nearby.

Cabins are a bit rustic, which we love, but its all about the location and setting. Beautiful lake for kayaking and SUP. We also rented a boat to explore. There were 2 amazing guys in the boat house who were so helpful and friendly. The restaurant is very good. Our only complaint was our cabin is for 6, but we only had 4 pieces of dinnerware and utensils. Thankfully we had plastic and paper plates. Don't forget to explore Paulina Peak for forever views and mostly STARGAZE!

Went here for the Blue Duck Grill and to walk on the beach. Sat watching folks come and go on their rental boats. Would like to do that some day.

Food was great, service a bit tense but it was busy. The lake was lower than I've ever seen it.

Very scenic, quiet, staff was very helpful with questions about mooring my big boat in future. Didn't eat or drink anything, but will next time.

Cool location within a volcanic crater. Tent camp is functional but, aside from a few sites, there's minimal privacy and shade. Family had a great time fly fishing the lake from the shore. There can be massive swarms of midges in June, not the resort's fault but bring a bug tent if you plan to sit around the picnic table after dark with a lantern! Cute store with pretty much everything within the resort. Try walking south down the shore to find the (gross, but cool) hot springs.

The location is gorgious with plenty of hikeing of all skill levels and the lakes are wonderful. Booking my camp spot was easy, and the staff were helpful and friendly. My tent site was easy to find and clean. The general stoor had plenty of essentials. I hope to stay again soon, renting a cabin and trying the resterant that i didnt get a chance to eat at this time.

Don't come here. It's nice and not too crowded. I feel like everything in the area is so busy in the summer. It is really nice having an area that is not. The lake is beautiful. There is so much to rent and the guys who work there are nice about making sure you have what you need. They even have my 3 year old his own little paddle. The food is also really good and not a bad price. For being the only thing that's out there is impressive. Next time we plan to stay at a cabin!

Really great gem most people not aware of and open to all, even if not staying in one of the cabins. Went there after arduous hike. There are nice relaxing Adirondack chairs on the lawn in the shade. Very friendly staff.

Good times at East lake resort. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Campsites are decent size but site 4 could have had a little more privacy. All in all we had a good time and will be back next year.

This is a great place. The lake is beautiful and the surrounding forest is spectacular. The lake fishing can be amazing. The resort, store, and Cafe are wonderful and staffed by friendly people. I stayed in the Redhead cabin. The cabins were built in the 60's and are maintained and furnished to the vintage era of when they were built. No TV's or WiFi which is great as it adds to the vintage vibe. I had a great time and will definitely return to enjoy this serene hideaway.

The restaurant is situated next to the lake. Outdoor seating is awesome. We had a very personable waitress who took excellent care of us. The Chef's Salad was fresh and very tasty. Our draft beers, recommended by our waitress, we very refreshing. A very good experience.
