The campsite is situated across the street from the lake. Firewood can be bought from the host. Vicki our host was super helpful. The loops are pretty tight which means you become fast friends with other campers. We brought a make shift dressing room which was helpful for us. No reception from t-mobile 😐

I wished our tent campsite was better maintained. There were bits of trash left behind from the previous campers and many bottle caps. There was a lot of poison oak directly surrounding the site that could have been cut back. The dumpsters would get full and left over flowing with bags of trash. Other surrounding campers didn't follow the quiet time hours starting at 10pm. Toilet paper was not always stocked. We appreciated the close proximity of the lake. Overall, people just need to pick up after themselves and areas surrounding the lake had lot's of trash and this is very sad to see.

This is a great place for outdoor camping. The place was cleaned ready for camping when I got there with Plenty of trees for shade and privacy. Has the best access to the lake. I am coming back for more family time.
