AS ALWAYS, OUR TIME AT BIDWELL WAS VERY RELAXING AND ALL I EXPECTED IT TO BE WHEN WE COME DOWN. THE IMPROVEMENT ON SITE 34 WAS MUCH APPRECIATED. I ALSO LIKE THAT ALL THE CAMPSITES ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR RESERVATIONS. THE PEOPLE YOU HAD CLEANING THIS YEAR DID A GOOD JOB.
BRIAN IS A GREAT ATTENDANT AND ALWAYS FRIENDLY.
THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT TIME AT THE LAKE.

We love Bidwell. The campground hosts, Brian and his wife, are kind, helpful, diligent folks. The corps does a great job keeping it up. We wish they would trim the trees down more on sites 1-8 so that there were better lake views.

Brian and Diane are absolutely the BEST Park Attendants we have ever met. Exceptionally friendly, great at attending to the park. They have turned this park into a favorite spot for lots of folks. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

Brian the host, is excellent. He is very friendly and polite and remembers us after only one other visit from a year ago. Facility is clean and well maintained despite high water issues.
