This is a clean, quiet, well run campground in a somewhat isolated area. There are lots of nice trails on which to walk or bike and there are lovely views of the lake from some of the sites. The lake is very low but fine for boating/kayaking and birdwatching. The down side is that the lake water has blue green algae, smells bad and physical contact with the water is not advised. There is an enjoyable disc golf course nearby within the park and there is a playground.

Great campground! Was very quiet mid-week, Ranger was super friendly, bathrooms and showers clean (no hot water in September). T-Mobile cell service was intermittent even near entrance.

Good quiet spot for relaxing.
Water and electric hookup is nice. No server hookup but there is one right outside of the campground.

Nice place to hang out for a few days all you need is there. Lake is currently low. 2-hour drive to Yosemite

We went in July and during the Oak Fire. This is partly why the weather was not good. The campground is really clean with outlets and many drinking water fountains. The campsite has its own vault toilets, although, shared flush toilets are available at a little distance from the campsite. The tent areas were very hilly and very dispersed. It's ideal for a very large group of people; we were 48 people. The shaded area was nice during the heat. We also loved having the grill and the fire ring.
The campground was very close to the lake. We were able to drive to the lake and swim there. The USACE provides life jackets that you can pick up and then return so that was nice. The lake water was muddy closer to the shore and the bottom of the lake was a lot of clay. Once you get a bit far, the water is cleaner. We all swam in the lake and did not get sick.
