We have camped here several times and love the surrounding area. This last experience was marred by a coyote attack on a young child in the campsite next to us. Please be aware that there are several aggressive coyotes that frequent the area. Keep an eye on kids and pets.

Spacious campsites, helpful staff, clean and well kept grounds. The toilets near our site were often closed for repairs and/or blocked up.

One of the best campgrounds we have been to using a tent! Plenty of room between campsites, lots of shade, convenient restrooms, and a great location!

Great campsite kinda limited on tent placement but our large tent still fit, trees in this site provide almost all day shade, good in summer I’m sure but in winter this site get COLD and If your like me and use solar your gonna need to improvise. Since your right at the entrance to the campground you get a lot of attention and in our experience a lot of people acting like your site is a walk way from the dirt road up to the campground. Well maintained bathrooms no complaints close to town.

Excellent campground that feels remote but is in the middle of everything. Lots of trees and good facilities. MUCH cozier and more private than Serano Campground across the lake.
