We loved our site by the lake. It was windy, but we bundled up and spent most of our time enjoying the hiking trails. Afternoons were less windy and very pleasant. Beautiful! we will be back!

Outstanding campground! We were at site BH13. We camped in a travel trailer. It was clean and level, all we had to do was level front to back. We hiked for about 2miles at Buckhorn Trail. We camped on April 1 2023. I rebooked for a future date to try a different campground.

Clean quiet campground. Beautiful hiking and wildflowers in the Spring. The reservoir water levels are still really low for some reason. Roads and camp sites need some repair work.

We were only here for one night, this was a very nice pull through spot. The campground and boat ramp were very nice.

I chose this campground as a location to ride out the regional winter storm from 2/23/2023 to 2/25/2023. It was a decent location to do that. It's off the beaten track, scenic, and had the weather been better, would have offered a variety of recreational activities. MY main complaint was the shower/restroom facility. I was happy to be able to have a shower, but since it was winter, it would be nice to have a heated bath house! And though the water was hot for the shower, the water pressure was lacking. The shower and restroom were not particularly clean or well-maintained, either. I would stay here again, and if the previous issues were addressed, I'd give the campground 5 stars!

Very clean campground. Park Rangers were around all of the time so no riff-raff.

The park itself was neat and well cared for. The bathrooms are in need of attention and some repairs. The campsites are very roomy and spaced out well. We will return for a longer stay next time.
