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.

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.

Well maintained campground; short walk to lake from campsite. Would visit again when the lake is higher and probably not again on a Sun-Wed; because of the days we were there everything was closed.

Camp host was nice and helpful. The camp sites have excellent separation compared to most campgrounds. The site was immaculately prepared, freshly raked and clean. I’ll definitely be back.

It was easy to book our reservation, When we got to our site our name was on the lot number post! The gravel had just been raked. The site was immaculate! The Restrooms were equally if not more immaculate! The campground host came around, and was very friendly, but not intrusive. The only thing is, they take the "one way / exit only" very seriously! If you drive IN through the exit, your tires will be punctured. A bit excessive in our opinion.

The site volunteer was very cordial and helpful, even when correcting me on errors I made in setting at the wrong campsite. The sites were very well maintained.
