We love this tent-only camp site! The grounds are well maintained by the camp host. NOTE: The showers did not work while we were there...despite the website saying otherwise, and the "Public Showers" sign at the entrance not saying otherwise.

Great campground, has everything you need. Picnic table, bear boxes, fire ring, water access, pit toilets, and showers if you so desire. The water was low, but that’s to be expected in California right now. It was a really good time.

Way too loud with all the music around even during very late night hours. Not what we are looking for when going camping in the middle of the forest..

2nd year camping fashoda. We are very much in a drought this year so the lake was a lot . And when I say A lot I mean a lot dryer than last year. But still about to swim and enjoy the sun. On our way to our sight we were also informed of the strict fire restriction in place so make sure you check the guidelines before heading to the sight. We figured it out though and had a awesome stay. Highly recommend Mother Nature was just not on our side this time around. But that’s okay get well soon Mother Nature (:

The bathrooms were not cleaned regularly. The noise from other campers after 10pm kept us awake 3 of the 5 nights we were there. The host did nothing about it. We won’t be going back and don’t recommend the campground.

Nice and quiet place. Reservoir was low but still easily walkable. I liked the bike path too near by. They should empty the dumpsters more often no wonder a bear was roaming around one night.

3 of 4 nights had 500lb bear visit us. No open fires allowed or Charcoal. Still a very nice place to visit and our preferred Camping Site. We'll be booking again.
