You will need your Northwest Forest Park to park. They also have a fee station at the entrance of the trailhead to pay for parking.

For this particular visit, we will be spending the evening camping at Lake Stuart. The hike itself was moderately challenging mainly due to carrying a heavy backpack for my camping equipment.
Hiking to Lake Stuart is ~8.5 miles roundtrip hike with an elevation gain of ~1800ft. The hike is mostly shaded, but there are some area's where the sun will shine down so make sure to have some sunblock available to reduce sunburns.
Mosquitoes and other small nasty critters will be plentiful here so I highly recommend wearing one of those mosquito nettings around your face or can always go the conventional route and purchase some mosquito repellants as needed.
--------------------------------------------------------
In order for you to camp at Lake Stuart, you WILL NEED TO HAVE a permit. Permits are available, but are VERY HARD to come by.

Stunning and fascinating forest environment. Perfect place to unwind and relax. Thank you for touring us and good presentation.

[@anniecoleman4204]

hey i have a group of 8people and permits camping here! would you say there are a lot of campspots for 4-5 tents?

[@letsexplorelife927]

I believe you can do it. It might have to be a situation where you split the group though say 2 tents in one side and 2 on the other. It's really what you can find depending on what spots have already been taken up. The site we found was definitely able to fit at least 3-4 but it all depends on how big the tents are and your general setup

[@anniecoleman4204]

@@letsexplorelife927 thank you we now have 4 tents - one two person, one three and two one person and someone ham mocking. Crossing our fingers it’ll all be good!

[@letsexplorelife927]

@@anniecoleman4204 Have fun and enjoy! In case you haven't already, don't forget the mosquito spray. They will be in full force.

[@itsssssjohnny]

Are there restroom or shower facilities in the Stuart Lake campsites?

[@letsexplorelife927]

Nope. You'll have to find your own bush

[@itsssssjohnny]

@@letsexplorelife927 Thank you! I’ll be camping there in two weeks and just want to make sure I’m as prepared as possible.

[@itsssssjohnny]

What about trash bins? Or is it pack in pack out everything?

[@letsexplorelife927]

@@itsssssjohnny it's a carry in carry out type of situation.

⁠@@letsexplorelife927 Yes, please make people aware that there are open air pit toilets (basically a wooden seat positioned over a hole) near most camping areas (including at Stuart Lake) and busy trails throughout the Enchantments (such as Colchuck Lake) which visitors are encouraged to use to minimize impact. Look for small wooden signs on trees that say “toilet”. (Note that too early or late in the year they may not be accessible due to snow.) Visitors much pack out all garbage.
