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..

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.

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.

Fashoda is an excellent place to camp - my family has a really wonderful time each time we've gone. This last time to no fault of anyone's but mother nature - the water was really low so there was a lot of mud that you had to get through before you could reach the water. We still had a great time. Our camp hosts were on top of things and we had a great camping trip this year!!

Beach sites are big. Close walking distance to lake. Site was clean when we got there.

A little crowded and loud with the lake right there, but I liked the format of being able to unload your car at the campsite, but then park in the lot a little ways away.
