Q: Please give me directions to Ancient Lakes campground. I would like to camp there next year.
A: It depends on where you want to be on the Ancient Lakes trail. Your best option is to make a choice based on expert information. The Washington Trails Association has a great guide online at https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/ancient-lakes that you may want to review to have a better idea of where and what you'd like to see and do. They also have lots of trip reports about the Ancient Lakes area that you can check out here: https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/ancient-lakes#trip-report-listing-header
NOTE: The
Ancient Lakes/Quincy Wildlife area is now managed by The Port of Quincy
(starting in 2017) and currently (2021) they are not taking
reservations for camping. Any camping done in the Ancient Lakes/Quincy
Wildlife area is now done by 1st come/1st served basis (no reservations)
and with the expectation that those campers who do plan to have
overnight stays 'leave no trace' as there are no workers on site or
stationed in the area. They are currently in the planning stages for
future camping sites in the location, but there are no provisions to
accommodate such use of the area at this time.
