Lakeshore East

Although the yurt is open year round, it does not have electricity and, therefore, no heat or lighting. While this isn’t a big deal when the temperature is 60+ degrees, it is a concern if you are wanting to camp in the winter. We were used to the yurts at state parks in Oregon, which are equipped with a source of heat, and took it for granted that other campgrounds advertising year round camping would be similarly equipped and ended up being quite cold despite bringing sleeping bags and two thick blankets. I suggest that Recreation.gov update the details for these listings to specify, in bold lettering, that there is no source of electricity/heat so that future campers are aware that they need to be that much more prepared for the elements.

Additionally, the futon in our yurt appeared to be close to falling apart (I kept referring to it as the college dorm dumpster dive futon). It creaked loudly when one of us tried to sit on it, so we were afraid to sleep on it for fear of breaking it.

On the upside, the campground was located in a convenient location with easy access to I-5 and the bathrooms were well maintained.

Clean sites, clean bathroom. Used the app when arrived to reserve.

Has picnic tables, water sources, bear trashcans, fire pits, paved parking spot, soft spot for tent. It is close to the road but it's not loud there is a good amout of trees

This campground is an absolute mess. The whole place looks like it was abandoned a year ago. The road and camping spaces are littered with branches and pine needles. The trees lining the road haven't been trimmed and made contact with the RV. There are piles of branches and debris that need to be hauled out. There were broken beer bottles in the fire pits. Truly sad as this could be a beautiful place.

Very good

We stayed overnight on our way to another destination. We stayed in our travel trailer. The site was easily accessible and had enough length that we didn't have to unhitch. There was hardly anyone there which made our stay private. We were there in late July and were blessed with an overnight drop in temps.

A quiet, pretty spot right on the "lake". The lake level is way down, so hopefully this will change in the future...
Lots of trees, shade and easily accessed off I-5, but it's quiet.

Hot

We never got to stay here because they were evacuating for a fire

Couldn’t make the stay but the website wouldn’t allow a cancellation. Poor customer service.

Camp host is super nice. Our Class A isn't a good fit for this location; pads not level. Saturday night music from a club or party was super loud till 11pm. Lower but still loud till midnight. Park filled with lots of younger adults. Great if you are into boating, otherwise, not much here. Drove 15 miles for dinner.
