The campground and our site met all our needs. Temperatures were 100+ during our stay and the showers were great. The only negative experience came from what was seemingly a group of people living out of their car. Piles of clothing and equipment piled on the picnic table, clothing, towels, etc hanging on the car. Car left for a day and left all belongings behind. Returned the next day. Very odd, in our opinion.

I stopped by the office and got information on the process to get a spot. I was able to make a reservation in the office due to not having any cell service. The space I rented had a great view of the lake and the sunset. Customer service was great.

The facility was clean and well maintained. Sites are not level (but not steeply sloped). There's not much privacy between sites. If you're into boating this is a great campground.

Extremely polite and helpful. Smooth check- in. Great bang for your buck with showers and dump included in price. Senior pass is worth it!😊

It’s a nice spot, will always come back here. Sure it’s busy on holiday weekends, but the local sheriff deputies and Fish and Game Warden are very friendly abs expect you to know and follow the rules of the lake and the law. Fishing can be challenging here with the tournaments and local pressure but usually catch a few. Camp ground is nice and spots are all fairly level with water accessible to most sites. Dump station on a Sunday can be hours if you’re leaving right at checkout. Double/triple check the times the close the gate to the campground, long dinner in town got me stuck outside the gate for the night, not terrible just a little walk to your camp spot.

The sites were very close together with a lot of loud guests during my stay. Not much shade at each site but it was nice having a water spigot on site and the lake was really big.

The grass was really died and sticker all over. They ended up in our trailer making it difficult to walk in our trailer. Water was turned off for most of the day. The lake was full which made it nice

We camped at Success Lake in Springville, CA site 76 right next to the water with a beautiful view. We had to clean up all the trash, cigarette butts, broken liquor bottles and liquor caps everywhere. Folks had used the perforated table for cooking on, what a mess. Could not set or do anything with that greasy mess. 3 Large trash cans parked right in the middle of the view of the lake. If you were sitting at the table in the camper you could use the wall in the corner of windows to block the cans and get a beautiful view! LOL
