We enjoyed our stay at the park. The spaces were a nice distance apart and clean. The wife enjoyed the ground squirrels as she could watch about 25 of them out the window. It was quiet and peaceful at night after the highway construction crew left. There was a noise problem one night two days before we left. The park personnel handled it right away and there were no more problems.

Beautiful spot. Lake is nice. Lots of destruction of the ground by ground squirrels. Not very busy in early Feb.
BAD - SHOWERS WITH ONLY COLD WATER. VERY DISAPPOINTING since one of the main reasons I booked this CG rather than bookdocking was to shower.

Campsite 18 was very roomy and spacious. The water hook up was pretty far but we had a 100 ft hose so it was fine. Only issue was the weather was pretty cold.

Beautiful scenery. I love how far apart the campsites are from each other so there is plenty of privacy and room for your dogs. Also great marina with kayaks, food, and drinks.

What a great campground! Visited over Christmas weekend. Perfectly spaced sites with lots of room and privacy. The campground was pretty much empty, so even better. Beautiful views, quiet, and close to town. The ranger station was closed the whole time, but I had a reservation, so I just went straight to my site and setup. I did see rangers about in their trucks, so there was a presence onsite. The showers are free with plenty of hot water. I had a great time. I hear there is a Casino just a few miles up the road, but I didn't make it up there this trip. I imagine I will be back.
