This place attracts inconsiderate campers. I made a reservation for weekdays to avoid the weekend crowds, and ended up across from a group of about 15 kids who partied each night screaming and blasting music until after 1 am. The camp host was AWOL as far as I could tell. Several RVs ran their generators from about 7 am to 10 pm each day. While the scenery is great, make sure you bring earplugs.

Campground was nice and clean....a little too crowded and the campsites are pretty close to each other. The reservoir was nice and being on the east side of it the sunsets were great.

I was told I did not need a reservation for Saturday night may 29. It’s a free for all. I was assured I’d be fine in spot. When we arrived someone else was allowed to reserve!! Total crap! So we had to leave.
Also not sure if there was a camp host or not but someone in camp site 10 across from restrooms turned on there metal music at 430 am and played it until 630!!! Total crap! If u have a host camp you need a new one! The music was full blast!! It was miserable!

The campgrounds were closed because of the fires. I did not go to East Meadows for a long planned vacation. The fires were not even close to the campground. And I was still charged. I really hate California politics. Such a joke.

The camp host Dianne was amazing!!! She was very personable and nice. The campground is as expected for where it is. We were staying there for deer hunting so we weren’t in the campground much but it was super clean and beautiful.

Lots of extremely loud people partying, yelling, and fighting all night long. It was an open campground without privacy, the lake was okay. I wouldn't camp here again.
