We have been coming to Fashoda campground annually for the last 25 years. And I want to say that this was the best. Our host was so sweet, she kept our restrooms clean and stack. Thank you for making our stay wonderful.

The campground and location are great. The hosts were great. I am not sure why people are loud past 10pm though. I would like to have rules reinforced.

Union Valley Reservoir from Fashoda is beautiful. The campground is walking distance to beach. It is clean, sites seem to be more spacious on the left side.
Bear boxes are a perfect size to store food as there are bears that roam around at night looking for snacks!
Loved it here! Will retrun.

Sites are very large, and include a large sturdy table, BBQ and fire ring. Campground is maintained very well

Location is great. The facility maintenance needs help. The camp host is elderly and seems to have difficulty keeping up with the facility. We had to have a family removed from our site that had already been there a day. Then the site host made it a habit to YELL AT PEOPLE FROM THE PARKING LOT about quiet time, rather than going to individual sites quietly. I love this location but these camp hosts are making me rethink my campground choice for next year.

Had a great time here. Was a smaller campground, so you are pretty close to your neighbors. The worst part were the bathrooms. Flies were flying out of the toilets and the smell was pretty potent. Hosts only use an air blower to clean the bathrooms at 6 AM.
