Lower Billy Creek

Beautiful, the bathrooms are clean. They provide buckets by your water spout which is very nice. I was at at lower billy creek site 8 and it was beautiful, right next to the water. Site 8 is a double site; two grills/fire pits. Would definitely go back. Lower billy creek is also close to the beginning of the hike to Nellie lake.

Love that camp

The campground was amazing. We had some neighbors that were kind of loud and annoying into the quiet hours but the campground was one of the best we stayed at.

nice lake views

Campground is 9.5/10 as the tent locations are a little close to your neighbors. Bathrooms are alright, a bit of a fly problem.

The only problem we had was our drive up to the actual site. If you’re driving from Shaver Lake you can choose to take the “long way” around Huntington Lake which was apprx. 40min from Shaver. The recommended google route has you go up 20mins of a single lane, 2-way road with blind corners and box trucks coming at you.
The road is wide enough for both cars but its uncomfortable anything above 15-20mph. On the way down that road, the decline wants to keep your car going 35+ which was even worse.

Lower Billy good as always.
Vault toilets, not flush as i said in a review.
We go from Sunday thru Fridays to avoid weekend busyness.
Great star gazing and genearlly good fishing.
Note, Mon. thru Thurs., very limit amenities- food, gas, etc...
There's just not enough people for some of the few business to be open.
Water in the campground is good to drink.

Small campground with lake views and access. Clean vault toilets. Adjacent to a day use area.

August 2024. lake was full and small beach/swimming area 30 to 40 ft from camp. Not much shade, bring a canopy. Room for two tents. maybe three. ground is level and accessible. Next door to Day use area, but it is empty on weekdays. Short drive to marina and fishing from the west dam, caught 2 rainbows...

This was the first time I tent camped at Lower Billy Campground, and it was wonderful. All the sites were clean. No loud crowds in the evenings. Bathrooms were well managed. I loved the fact that the lake is very close to half the sites. I had a great time and highly recommend this campground.

The camp site is great overall. I've been going there three times per year for a very long time. However, the last two years, and especially this year, the care and cleanliness of the camp has declined drastically. Bottom line is, either the camp is short staffed, or the quality of staff is very poor.
On a positive note, I very much appreciate the people who seem to frequent this camp. It seems the late night, loud music playing, loud cussing types, stay at the other end of the lake or down at Shaver; fortunately. Some of us still value a courteous and quite camp, geared around kids and peace. I hope this does not change any time soon.
