The camp host at Pass Creek campground is completely incompetent. I believe his name is Steve. He inforces the campground rules based on his mood at the time and he brakes the rules himself. Example: his dog is not always kept on the leash when he roams the campground and his dog jumped on my wife on one occasion. Also, The bathrooms are not kept clean or stocked at all. It should be noted that many other campers were discussing this issue and had the same complaints. Please hire a camp host that knows how to be a host and not a tyrant.

We have camped at Jackson Meadows for over twenty years, at least one or two times a year. this June and July we had a person saying he was a camp host. He has a part pitbull dog that is off leach most of the time. The dog jumped on my daughter while walking her leached dog and charged me when I walked by his camp. I took pictures of the dog, and he told me that I was nothing but a complainer when I informed him that he should follow the same campground rules as the people camping. It seems he thinks his only job is to harass the campers.

Great place to camp! with a boat ramp and running water and restrooms are available. Beautiful, clean spot with plenty of lake fun. My 2‑ and 6‑year‑old grandkids had a blast. For kids, just keep a close eye near the water, use life jackets, and apply sunscreen regularly.”

Camping was great. The campground could use a little more care. We picked up small pieces of garbage around our site. Restrooms around most campgrounds in area have a least 1 bathroom out of order. Buildings need painting. Off-road vehicle use is apparently being allowed in the campground. The week was peaceful, glad we missed the weekend madness.

Campground is nice. I would suggest that potential campers contact Nevada Irrigation District prior to making reservation to confirm availability of potable water and boating access to the lake. Potable water is usually available, but it doesn't hurt to check. The boat ramp was gated and locked during my stay. Boat access for trailered boats is limited to those that meet the golden mussel inspection requirements. The ramp was supposed to be open Thursdays thru Sundays from 9am to 5 pm. The personnel from NID hired to open and close the gate as well as checking watercraft for required mussel stickers failed to show Thursday and Friday, which led to quite a few upset boaters
