I enjoyed the campgrounds, the spots we booked were the perfect size for our big group and I was happy the water spout was near by as well as the restrooms.

price is great. distance is great. It's just not a great campground because of where it is. It's a place that I can go spur of minute and not have to travel. It's OK

Site #8. The site was spacious and more private than others. It was a quiet campground with friendly people. The only thing that we didn’t really like were the restrooms. There are no sinks in them and after a couple days they started to smell. Considering they weren’t flush toilets, they weren’t so bad. However, this won’t prevent me from visiting in the future. Overall we had a great experience and look forward to our next visit.

Most spaces were impossible to get into, including the one we reserved. When we arrived there were zero other campers, so I assume others had the same problem. Unfortunately, we didn’t end up staying because of this.

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..

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.

Fires & fuel

  • Check fire restrictions before visiting, as wood and charcoal fires may be prohibited.
  • Buy firewood locally and burn it on-site to protect California's forests.
