Simple Camground south of Seqouia NP. Well-maintained restrooms and warm showers. Big campsites, kinda far from each other.

Bathrooms & showers almost all out of order. The one shower that worked was filthy w bugs/dirt and had only cold water. Witnessed bathroom cleaning lady pull up & open each door without going in-despite the visible bugs and trash on floor of the same doors i had JUST opened! She then picked up 2 pieces of paper on lawn & got in her car & went to next bathroom where I timed her at 3 min. Nice pay gig. She drove maroon PT cruiser & she needs to be fired.

The ck in staff gave no direction or map to which campground and did not come into the drizzling rain to give our pass but came out 5 min later to stand there in the rain and smoke.

I have raved about the COE parks we have camped at through the years. There have been many and in various different states. They were all meticulous and everything in perfect working order. My gosh, Tule Campground at Success Lake is an embarrassment and should be avoided by anyone but locals to launch their boats on what is a beautiful lake.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
