Link Creek Campground

Link Creek is the most popular of the three Suttle Lake campgrounds. It has sites that are mostly flat with easy access to the water. Link Creek stays open longer than the others and opens earlier for the convenience of the all-season boaters. The best RV sites are found here. And there are three YURTS that are available year around. Next to Suttle Lake , this campground offers hiking opportunities in the summer and cross country skiing and snowshoeing opportunities in the winter. There is a boat launch within this campground.
