Noisy and no lake access. Tried to shore fish NO WAY.. Extremely dangerous and steep. You can hear the freeway all night long and truckers J brakes . Old campsites lots of berry and poison oak around.

Campsite #007 is a good campsite location for a large group with 2 picnic tables and tent pads. Restroom and drinking water are nearby. Downside about campsite, it's really close to I-5 so you can hear vehicles passing by at night and can bother you if you are a light sleeper. Be prepared for honey bees and bugs.
Overall, it is a good campsite !

We stayed in site 3 one night and site 7 the following night, you would think the move would be an undesirable moment but in all honesty it was not that bad. A bit cooler and private in August in site 7, a deep lot and narrow site also closer to bathroom amenities. Water is also nearby. Site 3 is open and wide spaced, it was unclear where site 2 ended or site 3 started, a few big boulders separating the two sites, everyone drives by and collects water in front of site 3. Both had large concrete pads to park rv, cars, trailers etc. both sites had huge picnic wood tables, kinda filthy and splintery but hey, it’s a table, we covered ours if needed. Both sites were clean and garbage service attendants were very nice and friendly. Never saw camp host, but saw the sweet set up as we drove in.
As of aug 2020 the water is no where near the camp site, we just drive down to water hole that is quite muddy but still refreshing. No boat ramp here this time, maybe a canoe or kayak,?

I really like this campground. There are only seven or so campsites, so it's pretty quiet and the spots are spaced apart from one another. The scenery was beautiful.

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.
