The campsite is a little out of the way but it served our needs of celebrating Thanksgiving at an out of the way location. The sites are well maintained, clean, and water sources are not far from the non-electric sites. Bathroom was clean and operating and available at no cost. Wood is available from the volunteer rangers at their site for $5 a bundle. Trailer site with electricity appeared to be also to be well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed spending our first Thanksgiving camping trip there. There are trails available for hiking, and fishing in the reservoir. Finally, with a Senior pass it only cost us (party of three) $30 for a three night stay. In my opinion, a bargain. Give it a try and see what you think.

Nice with cool weather this time of the year. Holidays and weekends are busier than normal at this campground. Kids are loud and play on the streets away from their own campsites vs using the playground. This means you might get a two hour sports event in front of your quiet campsite.

We enjoyed our time at the campground. It was very quiet and peaceful. At this time of year we didn’t see very much wildlife but on others stays we have seen plenty.

Great place to camp with the kids. The variety of amenities available at different sites is very convenient. The playground and the rock formation at the middle of the campground is a favorite for my kids. The only negative thing, The shower door was broken and one of the urinals have been plugged for over a month. The camp host is very friendly and so are the park rangers. Fire wood is for sale, courtesy of the Boy Scouts.
