Friendly parker ranger and staff. Well maintained campsite with well paved roads. Clean restroom. Well behaved crowd. Campground is surrounded by tall Ponderosa trees, a beautiful, quite place. We would come back to this campsite again.

We had a great time. Only thing to be aware of is that the picnic table and fire pit are about 100 feet away from where you park the trailer and is down a flight of steps. So if you don't want to hike back and forth, up and down the steps, it would be best to find a different spot.

Camp host (Mike) was abrasive and overbearing with little regard for others. The sites are well taken care of and very spacious.
Mike felt the need to explain the rules as if we had never camped before. I really didn’t appreciate the way he spoke to us and that he treated us with little respect.
It would be nice if the campground would invest in some electric hookups and better water accessibility. They have a different end fitting on the water spout, so I couldn’t hook up a hose and fill my water tank.
We will go back, but we hope that Mike is not there.

Well kept and clean campground. Hiking and biking trails surrounding your campsite. Stores close by in case you forget anything. The only downfall is the low cellular signal strength.

The spot in my opinion is the best in the whole of Loop C, however, it’s right in the middle, so you are surrounded on every side with campers. The parking spots are right off the road, which I didn’t know and caused issues setting up my Roof Top Tent since I needed space to pop it out. Lake was low but that’s natural.

31g is a great double campsite, with a huge Ramada. Close walk down to the lake as well. Our camp host was very nice and the check-in process was quick and easy. It was a shame to see how low the water levels of the lake are getting. We definitely need a true monsoon season.
