No physical address listed and WRONG directions given by Recreation.gov. Pictures for camp site weren't actual site, no water access. False advertising. Will never use again

Camp host was welcoming, helpful and friendly. Setting was nice with huge trees. No signs of the Dixie Fire damage from this camp site.

Great place. Looks like they're recovering slowly but surely from the fires last year. Still, it's sad and sobering to see so much fire damage. However it's still a beautiful area nonetheless!

This campsite is really cool! The campsites are really large and spread out. Certain sites have a lot of privacy, more so than I'd expect given there are a lot of campsites here. You are an easy walk away from the lake (15-20 minutes) and have access to the Almanor Rec Trail that runs through the campsite. Nice/clean bathrooms, really pretty location.
