French Meadows campground offers a beautiful and serene location with easy access to a stunning lake, clean facilities, and well-maintained campsites. Recent renovations have enhanced the experience, and the friendly camp hosts provide excellent service. While there is no cell service and limited direct access to the water, visitors appreciate the quiet atmosphere and spacious sites, making it a great getaway from city life.

We went stayed here June 14-17, 2020. This is a nice clean campground and the fishing was surprisingly good. Unfortunately, the reservoir was very windy during our stay which made boating and fishing almost impossible. It's also a long walk to the shoreline unless you snag a site near the lake. We probably won't rerun.

French Meadows offers a quiet campground with fishing, swimming, walking, and campfires. I like it because it seems to attract people who enjoy the peaceful outdoors. No loud music, parties, or boat motors. Me and nature.

We went around the end of sept. Pretty much had the place to ourselves. A bit chilly but had a great time. Water level was low and fishing was not productive. But had a nice time just relaxing and enjoying the beauty around us.
