Beautiful campground with great views. Being the off season (Jan. 21) it was not busy and we felt like we had the campground to ourselves. The bathroom and shower clean. The door was propped open for some reason so that made the shower quite cool in the morning. We stayed at camp site 9 which was in the corner of a parking lot overlooking the lake. Worked perfectly for us, especially since there were not any other visitors to the park. Not sure I'd love this site during busier times but it was also nice and flat compared to some of the other sites.

We had a great time! Clean park and the Ranger was really nice. Only thing is we had to be quiet by 10pm and water was too low and far away

Nice place for the 3 mild seasons. Not some place I would go in the summer without a boat. Now for the downside. BEWARE the site map and the lengths it says they will accommodate. I used the filter option for a 30ft RV with electrical and found a lot of them so booked one. Got there and it is basically a parking spot with NO WAY to fit even a 20ft RV in it. Talked to a ranger there who said he was going to recommend the sites be reevaluated so the Rec.Gov can be updated with correct site lengths. He let us move into a empty camp host spot instead or we really would have had to leave. Also I noticed a lot of people just showing up and taking sites because there are no reserved signs on them when there is no camp host so if you go without a reservation and take an empty site just know that you could be asked to move by someone that reserved it. All the sites do have a sign that says they must be reserved in advanced so all you people who just show up hoping for an empty site good luck with not getting moved out.

We spent time cleaning the sites of bottle caps, cigarette butts, etc. And someone shoveled all the ashes out of the fire pit in site #30...made for dirty shoes in the RV. It was a beautiful two days and the wild flowers were lovely. More water than we anticipated. We'll be back next February.

A beautiful area with stunning scenery and terrain. It is a great area for cycling and hiking. When we visited in February the hillsides were green and there were tons of beautiful wildflowers all in different colors. The restrooms were clean and our single staff encounter was friendly.
The one issue we had was that some of the groups with RVs at neighboring campsites consistently played loud music. We were hoping that the music would stop at the listed quiet hours (10pm), but it carried late into the night (3am) (we admittedly didn't contact park staff about it, but there was not a patrol to check on the noise level)

We stayed at site 5 which is right next to bathroom/shower 1. great view of the lake and mountains. you can comfortable set up 2 (4 person tents) and have a rooftop tent on a car parked near your site. I prefer this campground during the spring vs summer.
