We love this place. The watcher over it, Bryan is wonderful. The bathrooms were clean and my husband says he's on top of his game and looking forward to seeing him again next year

Made 6 camping trips to Bidwell this year...all were perfect. Campground is clean and well maintained. Camp hosts Brian and Dianne are very personable, always available, and helpful. We're coming back every month next year!

I was a Park Ranger with the USACE this summer and this park was one of my favorites due to lake view access from many sites. I have a camper I bought in June that I had not had an opportunity to use and just wanted to take a quick hop before the closing of several parks for the season and winterizing my camper. Brian (park attendant) is amazing and does a great job! Enjoyed our short stay.
