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.

Very loud campsite. For a Wednesday it was super loud until 2am. Also bathrooms were very dirty with huge spiders. We left early

The lake is still beautiful; however the campsite is largely on the slope, it's not very suitable for finding a good tent spot for me. The potty restroom is a bit smelly and not hygiene.

First time camping at Fashoda. Stayed over Labor Day weekend in 2019. The weather was perfect, campground was busy but clean and very accommodating. Campground host was great. Bathrooms served their purpose. Beach access at the reservoir on both sides of the campground...walking distance to both...bring your watercraft and/or tube. Nearby hike to Bassi Falls was awesome! Will definitely keep coming back to Fashoda. Highly recommend to anyone!
