Campground was in excellent condition. Restrooms were well stocked, clean and Oder free.
Boat ramp could use more supervision by law enforcement. Several cars looked to be parked there while people hung around nearby (not launching boats.). I would imagine budget cuts are responsible for this.

Cleanest and most well kept campground we’ve been to! JJ the camp host was very kind and friendly and worked hard to maintain the camp. He tended the bathroom near our site ( and I’m sure all the rest) multiple times each day.
We will absolutely be returning.
Be aware the campground is pretty remote! Pack enough ice, have enough gas, etc! An hour back out to any nearest gas station/supplies!

Camp grounds were clean, spacious, and staff were friendly. Sites were not close together, which was great. Getting in and out was easy. We had a great time.

The camp host J.J. was absolutely amazing. He was so helpful and professional. He also was able to assist me with cutting the lock on the cage at the rear of my trailer as I had lost my key. To my surprise he also had a supply of outboard motor oil that saved the day because I had gas, but forgot to include the oil for my engine.

He delivered the firewood we purchased right to our camp sight.

The toilet facilities were always clean and free of fly's or other critters.

Best camping experience I have had in California!!

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
