Every USFS campground should have first come first serve campsites instead of having to book a same day campsite on line while parked at the campground entrance !

Great view of the lake from campsite, hot showers and a free RV dump

Family had a great time. Grounds were cleaned up as well as bathrooms. On-site staff were super helpful when we had issues with our trailer even though it wasn't required to help us. We will be returning soon!

As far as campgrounds go it was average. The things I liked were the spaces were large and clean. Town was not far and the drive to the river to play was short. What I didn't like was the overload of bugs in the bathroom. I've been to much more rustic and open campgrounds, I've showered with frogs and spiders- No big deal. But for whatever reason, no matter how often the bathrooms were cleaned, there was a bunch of maggots and worms on the floor. That and the heat of the bathrooms, made for very uncomfortable situations. The Ranger was a bit frustrating, There were numerous sites with more than 2 cars, and for some reason, I kept getting talked to... My family rented 10 sites all together and with some older family members walking was difficult in the heat, but apparently the parking police couldn't let it go. So everytime my aunty wanted to visit, she had to get dropped off, if she needed the restroom, someone had to walk back to thier car to take her. It was rather inconvenient. Yes of keys and drivers for other cars were closer, that would work, but just seems silly that if the cars fit in the parking space and are not blocking the road, the rangers would have better things to do.. like manage the drunks fighting about kids games that got out of hand.. I enjoyed the family time, but the grounds themselves were not my favorite.

Had a wonderful time camping in our RV. Hookups worked well. However, there was a notice about the water having e-coli so that makes for more work since we were hooked up to the water. Quiet campground and I liked the fact that the park rangers and sheriff patrol often day and night. Made us feel safe. Bathrooms were clean but HOT. But that’s expected when it is over 100 degrees outside. Showers could use some lights and maybe a shelf to sit clothes to stay dry. But we will definitely be back. We ended up extending our trip from 3 days to 5 because it was so peaceful.

Unfortunately our stay was bad enough that we only stayed 2 out of the 5 nights booked and left for a safer park without asking for a refund. It seems as if anyone can enter the campground at any time and use the facility whether or not they have paid to be there. We were woken up late both nights by people who seemed to be under the influence of some kind of substance running around naked and walking on the roof of the restroom facilities. The restrooms and showers were honestly scary to use especially at night because of the random people and I would not recommend allowing children to use them without an adult even during the daytime. They were also incredibly disgusting, hot, and most of the locks are broken or the doors just won’t even close. There is very little shade all around so the heat during the day is almost unbearable. There are sites with hookups and it seems like they’ll allow people to launch a watercraft at any hour day or night so maybe that is a positive attribute to this place. I would never return solely because of the safety issues.
