On the shores of a 200-acre lake, Tully Lake Campground offers a classic tent-only camping retreat with an array of modern conveniences and outdoor recreation in the shade of towering pine trees.
Before arriving, you’ll reserve a campsite either inland or on the waterfront, each with its own picnic table and fire pit with grill. Along with a centrally located bathhouse with flush toilets and coin-operated showers, firewood, fire starters, and ice are sold onsite. Don’t wait to reserve, this campground fills up quick!
After pitching your tent, it’s time to explore the wonders all around. Rent a canoe or kayak to paddle up the Tully River and explore the islands and inlets on the lake, or cast a fishing line from the campground banks. Amble down sections of the 22-mile Tully Trail for glimpses of tranquil overlooks and roaring waterfalls—and, if you’re up for it, spend two days hiking the whole trail—or mountain bike the 7.5-mile loop around Long Pond. Head back and take a nap, or gather the whole family for a game of disc golf, horseshoes, volleyball, or cornhole.
