Stayed here in late July! It was a very beautiful campground, nicely shaded too with a nice view of the reservoir.
We were conveniently next to the bathroom. Fairly tidy. Running water and no cell service. No camp host was there during our stay.
I would stay here again (:

It was a great spot. A short walk to the lake. Beautiful views and fun trails to hike. It would be nice if the trash would've been pi ked up after the 4th holiday as they were full and overflowing by the 7th. The bathrooms could've used more toilet paper as there was usually none even tho it was a pretty empty site after Sunday. Def recommend and will come back again.

Really great camp host, very nice. She even drove by shortly after my arrival and had firewood in her cart. I'm used to having to drive back to where the host is to get my wood, but it was really nice that I could just purchase it off her cart and carry it to the camp fire site. Sites are close together, but neighboring campers were quiet, so it made it pleasant.

Very clean campground with paved sites with a beautiful lake. Nice that they have flush toilets in some of the bathrooms. Campground hosts take good care of the campground.

Fairly large sites with fire rings and picnic tables. Some of the sites do back up against each other but we were camping with friends so it wasn't a problem. Flush and vault toilets but unfortunately no showers. Right next to the reservoir for water sports.

This is a beautiful campground and lake. We especially like the flush toilets and how clean and tidy it is. It is also close the the Pacific Crest Trail for great hiking opportunities.

I've been coming to this campground since I was a kid, and we had a great time. The weather was perfect. The camp hosts were very friendly and helpful. The water was working and bathrooms were fully functioning. We can't wait to plan our trip for next summer.
