Often full and they won’t open other campgrounds in the park - why can’t they make leveled campsites and picnic tables, they always put those sites on the edge of a cliff, all campgrounds seem to have the worst locations and views, like hem everybody in like a herd of cows or something. Always with the locked gates, can’t go here can’t go there can’t go anywhere like the visitors are prisoners or something, why don’t you put machine gun towers and spotlights out everywhere? All government properties, that are owned by the public by the way, are treated as territorial turf and no trespassing And if begrudgingly they do offer recreation areas it is with Appalling rules and regulations that stifle, suffocate and ruin the whole experience. The government is totally deaf dumb and blind and not answerable to the public whatsoever. Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Not if the government can help it—-

We had a wonderful time but the water was so low. Our slide did not work and the wonderful camp host researched and came back to assist. We got on the road and home. The camp host and his wife are so nice and helpful. They were our rv angels.

Great little campground with fun hiking trails. Bathrooms are clean but old. Had a fun trip despite the wind.

It was a really nice setting. They only had one camping area open which limited crowds. For us, our site worked great! Had a nice stone, large picnic table, fire pit, bbq grill, a couple of trees big enough for the hammocks. We were close to the dumpsite (but not too close) and the grandkids had a great time riding bikes, going for walks and going to the closest park. We would definitely return in the off season. Other campers were very respectful and kept noise to a minimum. Our view was more of the hills than the lake but walking around there were beautiful views everywhere. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked.

The location is beautiful, each campsite has a view, lots of hiking trails and everything is near the lake.
In addition, there is a winery nearby and the town of Orland has a great place to eat at the Farwood.

We hiked across the dam and to the top of Black Butte while we were there. The views were outstanding.

Overall, it was a pleasant stay. The campground was pretty quiet most of the time and things were generally picked up and looked after well, with one exception; the bathrooms. They were pretty gross and over the course of my four-night stay it was evident that they weren't cleaned even once. That's not right. Come prepared for that! Otherwise, I really love this area and will stay again next time I'm around.
