Flat tent area, close to water and very roomy. The staff isn’t so friendly and unfortunately our site had a ton of cigarette buds.

I could see how other reviewers could have taken the camp host as a little rude but I didn’t think so if anything it could’ve just been his tone and/or hard of hearing. Site 28 is located in the “Equestrian Camp” to the left of the trail access. The view at campsite is nice all around. This specific site had an equestrian stable (no evidence of horse feces) where I was able to hang my hammock. It was really nice at night! The site is located right next to the restrooms and water faucet BUT the restroom entrances were facing DIRECTLY towards your campsite (no trees or bushes were blocking others from looking in and seeing every aspect of you and your campsite)! Camp host drives throughout the grounds frequently and maintains/restocks restrooms. There were LOTS of fire ants (Labor Day weekend).
I would come again but not at a site where the restrooms are facing my campsite and not covered by any trees. This was a poor layout when the other side of the restroom is completely open and not facing any campsites..

We booked our campsite a month in advance, I was wondering why it was so cheap. We shortly found out why when we got there. Site 14 is on an incline with no flat ground, and no shade. The entire night we were sliding down hill and we got no sleep that night. To make things worse its campsite was infested with wasps. There were so many we had to leave our campsite early. The camp host was not available nor warned us about said wasps

There is a nice hiking trail looks like water could run through it.

My wife and I love this place. Not fancy but quiet and peaceful. Sites are far apart enough for nice personal space. No hook ups but we are fully self contained.
Nice hiking. Nice views.
Been coming here since I was a kid.
Our go to for some serious chillaxin!!

We arrived around past 4pm and seen several campsites with "Reserved" status but no one is still occupying. We decided to drive all throughout and haven't seen any one camped yet. Our instinct says it's kinda creepy with our presumption maybe other campers opted out after finding out the condition of the campground being unkept, bucket full of algae and insect seems the water being stagnated for a long time. We did'nt see the camphost as well. Campsite full of leaves, seems like no one camped for a long while. Vault toilets are so smelly and haven't cleaned up. We ended up finding another campsite in Mount Laguna which has more safety vibe and camp host are consistently roving around and cleaning amenities. Waste of money and time..just a lesson learned to be more careful in choosing your campground. Trust your instinct as well if you feel safe or not once you set foot to any campground you planned to stay.
