Beautiful lake, clean campground. Sites are pretty small. Lucky to get o e full size tent in most sites. We had two sites, so it worked out well but wouldn’t want to be that close to someone we didn’t know.

PG&E has destroyed the beach at college camp. They cut lots of trees down and left them all over the beach in front of College Campground. We got bitten by fleas at the beach. The water system broke and the normally potable water was polluted with a white substance that looked like teflon tape or plastic particles. The flush toilets were shut down for a day for an unknown reason. The campsite was clean and nice no shade you must bring a canopy for shade.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
