VerifiedJanuary 11, 2020 • Stayed at: 006, Loop: AREA BAILEY COVE
The camp ground was nice and the swimming area worked for cooling off. The one drawback is the access road which was steep, narrow, and twisty, someone without alot of experiance pulling trailers should avoid this campground.

Great campground, very clean, flush toilets, easy access to Interstate 5. We only stayed one night on our way to WA, but we did get a chance to go swimming in the lake. It was refreshing and peaceful.
