False advertisement, camp sites were terrible, they are no where near water, the family had to walk maybe 1/2 mile or more to get to the lake or drive to it; upon "checking in" there was no one at the host/ranger station to help us; water was only at 19% but later when ranger finally "checked" us in by issuing us parking tags, he admitted they don't show "real pictures" of the campsites or else people won't book because we complained about the sites; cancellation policy for rental sites is terrible online, they charge us every time we want to change sites so we ended up paying double, we did leave a day early due to the smog/debris from the forest fires unfortunately so we paid more than what we anticipated. We don't recommend this place sadly. We were really hoping this campsite worked out, but it didn't for our family.

Wonderful place! The group sites have a crazy view to the lake. And there are lots of comfortable common areas to use.

Surrounding campers were playing music very loudly throughout the day which got annoying, site was great, not much to do close by. You can rent a boat to go on the lake but also hang out by king river, it has a bunch of beaches
