April is a perfect time to visit Eastman Lake. Just don't visit when we are there. :<) South San Joaquin Section Royal Rangers spent two days at Wildcat Campground. The grass is green, the rattlesnakes are still in the ground, and the weather is beautiful. All three groups (Atwater, Madera Ranchos, and Mariposa) caught fish this year. The lake was FULL! Camp Staff was very helpful. We had minor problems with the bathroom and shower house...yes they have showers...and the staff took care of it right away. The facilities are older, but very clean. We spent time on the day use side of the lake and the bathrooms were just as nice. They even have showers on the day use side! Whoa! Wildcat Campground is perfect for all of our activities (Compass Course, Weather Merit, Wildlife Merit, Hiking, Archery, Council Fires, etc.). We had a WONDERFUL time and will be back in 2025. :<) Thank you for providing such an incredible campground, cjh

Went in the spring. The flowers were blooming and the hills were all green. Very peaceful experience. Only two real hikes to take. The hike across the dam has a nice view of the Sierras. Free showers and clean bathrooms. Well maintained. Playground for kids, and it was a pleasant drive out to the lake through cattle country.

We had a great time at Eastman. Very quiet and beautiful. Could have been better if sites had been weed-eated. Tall grass and foxtails were our only complaint.
