Bailey Cove

We were here during a heat wave so perhaps not an objective view of this site. Hosts were nice. But so hot and NO access to water!! Not advised to book this site in summer. We will never return here. End of July heat wave and we were shocked that at 7pm at night the temp was 104 degrees! We pulled in to check out the site anyway. Of course we knew no electricity at the site, though we have an AC in the camper we didn't anticipate needing it nor did we need it anywhere else in No Cal or Oregon. We were trying to decide if we should stay so we asked about water access. We were told it was 10 minutes by car down a very bumpy rough road and it was mostly muddy and not much water down there. :( We booked this site hoping there was water access so be forewarned that when the lake is low there is really NO water access here and it's really, really hot here in summer.

This was a trash campsite. I can not believe that you actual still make reservations for this sh*t hole of a place. As a solo female camper I was actually afraid to stay here, it was something out of a horror film. If I could give it no stars I would. 0/10 do better!!

Pretty good but we weren’t warned the bathrooms wouldn’t be open?
Porta potties we’re placed practically in an other groups campground and didn’t seem to have been emptied recently
Otherwise quite good! It’s a nice spot, ate some blackberries

The campsite was clean and easily accessible, but it was a bit noisy because it was close to the highway. I saw it was close, but didn't think about road noise. The lake was dry this time of year. The water was not available at the sites due to testing and high chlorine levels. The bathrooms were unavailable too, but portable restrooms were available. Bring mosquito repellent.

Overall we had a lovely stay. However, the website needs to be more clear about the status of amenities at each campground. We stayed at this site because it was closer to Redding than some of the larger more popular sites up the road. The bathrooms were locked and unusable and porta pottys (they were clean) were included instead. This was fine because it sort of made for a more authentic camping experience. The major downside is that there is NO potable water on site at all. There are two well pumps that are covered with plastic bags that say DO NOT USE due to significant levels of chlorine in the water. With no showers, bathroom or water on site, we had no way to even fill up a portable hanging shower and had to shower at the Y! The campground host said the water hasn't been usable for 5 years!!! We luckily were able to get a discount on the site, but would be very unhappy to have to pay full price.
Other than the water issue the site is nice, small and quite (mostly...we had one issue on Friday night where a large group had a party until 1 am even though there is a max # of people allowed at each site and quiet hours start at 10. People will be disrespectful wherever you go though).

The camp ground itself was nice but don’t try to use your steaks when setting up tent because the ground is too hard to get any in. We camped at Bailey maybe 2 weeks ago now and we’re surprised in the morning when we walked to the lake only to discover it was completely dried out! That was a bit disappointing
