Island Park

I really loved the email that was sent prior to my reservation , I also loved when the park ranger came by to check me in that he told my neighbors about the 10pm noise control (they were a large group) He warned me about the rattle snakes on the trails . I really loved the space that I reserved and Iwill be coming back !

The site at Pine Flat Lake is beautiful but the weekend crowd was noisy and did not honour the curfew. The facilities are old and not well maintained. Not a place we will go back to unfortunately.

The campgrounds themselves were nice. The tent-only non electric sites were a bit small but not by too much. The fire pits were fully functional and I especially found the table at campstove height useful, as was the regular picnic table and bench. The bathrooms & shower the first day: the shower was surprisingly well kept, and surprisingly had a range of temperatures from too hot to just right to warm to cold. The stream type from the shower head was closer to a bidet stream (one single stream, highly pressurized) than I'm used to, but that's workable. The bathroom stalls were too small - couldn't get my wheelchair in the shower without folding it first, and even without my wheelchair the toilet stalls were small enough that you have to squat awkardly next to the toilet to close the door. Fun fact, this can be fixed by simply changing the hinges on the door so they swing outward, if the park is looking to improve on a budget. Unfortunately, at the end of day 1 a ranger came around and told us that the wastewater facilities were having issues, so we could no longer use the bathrooms or showers, but could still use the pottable water spouts and the vault toilets by the boat ramp. The vault toilets were much more accessible (further to get to - we had to drive each time but someone more up for hiking could have walked it). There were no lights in the vault toilets but the sunlight lit it up really well in the day and a lantern worked wonders for at night. One of the vault toilets had a handle missing on the outside and the lock on the inside kept getting stuck, at one point I had to ask for my girlfriend to pass me a workglove to give me better grip to unlock it so I could get out of the vault toilet. That definitely needs to be fixed. They are well vented at least. The lake was great, the views were great. Other campers were nice to speak to but I wish they hadn't brought their speakers for their music. Overall it was good, just the distinct issues with bathrooms.

Bathrooms were non operational the entire trip

Some nice sites. Water level had been very low, but was rising. Many sites are not at all level, require substantial number of leveling blocks. Many sites have nice views of the lake.

Our tent didn’t fit where our was suppose to go couldn’t really swim in the lake because of all the boats and jet skis almost hitting us driving fast and crazy where there was swimmers and when it was quite turn at 10 it wasn’t really quite kids running around yelling screaming being disrespectful had my daughter asleep and they woke her up the description said I would be able to back my car into my camp sight but that was a lie I had to walk down hill to my camp sight people would come to the sight and yoke our parking spot we had to wait so they can move there car which took like 4 hours

There's a beehive in the tree at 23. The big oak tree won't allow you to lower your sunshade. The bees never bothered us. Also, steep incline so bring your leveling blocks. Also, some moron shot three pellet gun holes in the men's bathroom. Not too sketchy though, just lock your doors it's dark at night but the stars are very visible, Milky Way and everything.

Was an amazing spot to camp at! Brought the boat up and caught some rainbow trout and it was delicious 😋. Definitely will be back in a few months

If I could give this a lower rating I would. This site should have been closed the day we arrived. No running water and 110 degree feel. Not sure where I was supposed to park as there was a Porta potty in my parking spot. Could be so nice if it was managed differently.

Lovely outlook but very hot in the summer as there is only limited shade. The toilets and showers were closed and replaced by portable toilets.
