We camped 1 week ago, the place was really amazing, the view spectacular. When we were there no other camper, only me and my husband so quiet and so relax, till 8pm there's a pick up truck arrived and parked at site 9 and we are at site 2, feels weird and scary we just wondering why he was there, I'll checked the website if there any other campers reserved however no one. So we decided to packed up and leave as possible because of the guy driver of that pick up ruined our camping even he didn't do anything or whatever, but we felt very bad vibes.

Nice camp site. I enjoyed the peace and quiet. The restroom were ok. Wouldn't hurt to update them. The lake was low but still nice.

This is a nice small little campground right off the lake. The sites are rather close together, however luckily it wasn’t loud and others were respectful. There are no hookups and we had poor cell reception, however we went to enjoy the outdoors and get away so this was not an issue. With the lake half full, we had plenty of are to walk down and explore around. Have the kids bring bikes, Rc cars, etc for a fun time.

There was a stray pitbull roaming the campsite and when contacted park managers wouldn't do anything.
Bathrooms need deep clean. Otherwise a nice area and nice experience :)

Two nights at site #4 late March. Loved everything about it. Great view of the lake. Got flush toilets and a hot water shower. Only 10 sites altogether so it was nice and quiet. Will definitely be back several times more as it’s close enough to drive from the Bay Area.
They do a wonderful job leveling the area for tent camping. We did RV camping and would appreciate an improved road conditions.
