It was ok except that the showers were not working so we had to drive to another site to shower.
toilet remains unflushable. Site would be great with flushable toilet.
Love that site is walking distance to Lake.

The lake was beautiful- too bad about the litter that was left at our campsite.
The trash bins were over flowing- so I guess people decided to throw trash at the sites!

Dumpsters overflowing and bathroom clean out smelled up the entire campground for an entire day. But it was an amazing trip for my family.

Be sure to be ready for numerous jet skis and music playing in the campground till all hours!
Most campsites have 20-30 people cramped into them for a drunken revelry!

The campground itself is beautiful, the lake is just gorgeous. Unfortunately, the grounds this year were in pretty bad shape. The restrooms were not cleaned and were missing toilet paper a lot of times. Our site was not cleaned properly, even though we checked in way later than 2pm. We have been coming to this campground for the last 15 years, this is the dirtiest we have seen it. We will be there next year no matter what.

The campground is very close to Sacramento, the water level is high and the scenery is great. The only complaint I have is the bathroom situation. They desperately need to clean out the vault toilets. The very first weekend they were open and the toilets were full to the top.
