Finding the campsite was not easy, it was not made clear of the multiple entrances to the park. We could not find a dump site, the web site said there was one. The shower heads need attention, they sprayed very widely wasting water while trying to get it where it was needed.
We call them Goat Head thorns, they were very abundant making walking painful for pets and humans alike.
The sunset was beautiful, loved the solitude and views!

This was a relatively peaceful campground. The sites are spacious and located far enough away from other sites. The picnic benches have shades on top of them which was nice during the daytime. The only issue was that the sites closer to the highway(ours) have to deal with the noise from the vehicles and their lights. If there was more vegetation or trees blocking the view and noise of the highway from the campground, it would be perfect. The newer bathrooms were nice, however, we ended up closer to an old bathroom that wasn't maintained. It did not have doors on the toilet stalls and the shower area was dirty.
But overall, would definitely recommend it to others and would stay there again myself.

Loved this campground! The campsites are spaced out so well, I’ve never had so much space at a campground. The lake views were gorgeous. My son loved the 2 playgrounds.

Overall we absolutely loved it.

Staff we encountered were friendly.

The not so great: the showers were nasty. Full of black widows, cockroaches, and countless other bugs. Plus they needed a really good scrubbing. We don’t usually use campground showers but with no sewer hookups, we decided to try them out and it was awful. Having sewer hookups would be really nice because my husband was not happy about making several trips to the dump station pulling the honey bucket.

People drive super fast through the campground and day use area so be careful if you have kids and/or pets.

We were there in late winter (March) and there were horrible thorns everywhere that punctured right through our shoes with every step, so we had to wear heavy duty hiking shoes every time we went outside, which was not ideal in the warm sunny weather.

For us, we would go back for just a few nights so we didn’t have to walk back and forth to the sewer dump. If you have a small easy to maneuver and set-up/tear down rig it would be easier, but with a 43 ft fifth wheel, we aren’t going to move it just to go to the dump station.

Bathrooms didn’t have soap, so make sure you carry hand soap with you.

Tule campground was fairly quiet. We were at the south end and got more road noise than in some other parts of the campground but it was not too bad. On our second night some people showed up and set up next to us right about 10 pm so I wonder if they actually lock the gate at 10. Other than those inconsiderate neighbors it is a really pleasant place to stay. Clean and peaceful. We liked it enough we are booked there again next week — it is a convenient stop on our way to and from the desert.
