We really enjoyed our camping trip. It's very unfortunate that the forest service has decided again this year to exclude Rancheria campground at Huntington Lake. (same area) Last year it was closed so they could clear out the dead trees. I guess they have slow chainsaws. Closed this year also. Not Recreation.gov fault. Is it?
We can't view our past reservations online.
Was asked for this review and they are about 6 months overdue. They did state next time it would be within a few weeks.
We and our friends have a fault with Recreation.gov or the forest service. The online maps are NOT drawn accurately. Not talking about 'to scale' but for the last couple of years the maps are not drawn accurately. Roads do not match with sites, no roads shown, no restroom locations, no hosts sites, missing sites. Someone should be shown the door and out!
Please fix it. It's the users experience that powers this Recreation.com. I would give them a 2 out of 10.
Thanks

The site was not too crowded and the host were super considerate when it came to noise levels, since we had 5 kids on site. Restrooms were clean and the lake was close by

I love Huntington Lake, I have been coming as a child, and my dad came since he was in high school. We now all come with family and friends from all over CA! Though, Upper Billy is where we ALWAYS stayed as kids. This year we finally got back up there and up in the upper loop. Though, now our secret sanctuary has been found! Don't get me wrong, its still amazing and so great. BUT, we felt like the camp sites are just too on top of each other. It's so hard feeling like your enjoying the outdoors with everyone on top of you. But regardless, its just great to be up away from the road. The bathrooms were great, they were cleaned often, just a little early sometimes to be blowing the windblower.
We'll be back, we always are!

We visited at the beginning of August 2019 and stayed for 3 wonderful nights. We were in site 015 in Upper Billy Creek. It was the perfect site. No neighbors really, and next to the creek.

We have been coming to Billy Creek for over fifty years. We seen many changes to both Upper and Lower Billy Creek as well as the lake itself. We enjoy staying at Billy Creek, the campground hosts are terrific, the view of the lake is one that we really enjoy. Fishing, sailing, hiking, taking wildlife photographs and taking walks on the path are all fun activities. We also enjoy the nearby off road trails in our Jeep. If you don't feel like cooking there are the restaurants nearby at Lakeshore and within walking distance, Huntington Lake Resort.
