Stayed at campsite 33 over Labor Day weekend. This campsite is situated beside the entrance, behind the camp host, and about a campsite away from the sink/shower/bathroom building. Pack quarters and hand soap for the bathrooms and showers. This campsite itself isn’t shaded above the picnic table, so I would reccomend packing a canopy.

Amazing spot for camping, both the modern and primitive sites! Currently open fires permitted on both, potable water at primitive sites only. The staff is absolutely incredible and come around with firewood and water. No reception within 20 min, McDonald's and Starbucks 30 min. The water is perfect for swimming and lots of space!

We stayed in the primitive section. Pros: Had the entire area (all the camp sites) to ourselves. Saw CA condors and other hunting birds. Beautiful scenery. Cons: Hotter than Hades (July), no real stream or lake to speak of next to the campsites, tons of poison oak to be aware of.

Very noisy campground. People listening to loud music all the time, then talking loud till midnight. Staff are nice people but should make sure people are following the rules they talk about so much when you're checking in.

Excellent spot between Paso Robles and Carmele. The spot has plenty of shade to fence off 102 degrees. Close to the lake to enjoy a quick swim.

You have got to get your water issues resolved. We have camped twice this year and the plumbing is still not available. While we have a travel trailer, it would be nice to be able to use the facilities and know we have a back-up supply of water if we need it. Love the campground. We feel safe. We like going down to the Arroyo Seco river as well.
