This campground is gorgeous and well-located. As a tent camper who likes quiet, here are the things I learned. The sites on the N side will likely be impacted by the sound of a generator which runs at strange hours at Pacific Valley School. Perhaps not in summer when classes aren't in session, but it was definitely a factor the first time there.
This place is basically a wide open grassy meadow with trees. Campsites on the edges are secluded but far from bathroom and water. Also the center sites are sunnier and more open. However the sites along the edges are near the trees and will stay wet all day long, especially in winter.

A beautiful campground with nice spacing between spots. However, generator hours are a bit short 10-6. Also, fire restrictions when it’s been raining for weeks is a little ridiculous. I found the camp host wonderful despite recent reviews. No phone service in the campground but I had a few bars across the street and a bit south with att.
