I am woman who was solo tent camping. I felt safe. The campground and permanent restrooms were clean. As usual the blue porta potties were yucky! The bushes worked well for my needs at night. The fresh water had been shut off! Yikes! I did not come prepared for that! I should have been informed before arrival. The lake was great and and the sunset gorgeous!

The campground is fine. The problem is with Recreation .gov. The campground did not have potable water due to a pipe break caused by nearby logging operations. So, hydrants were not operational as well as bathrooms with sinks and flush toilets. They do not post this information when making a reservation. If you cancel the reservation upon learning of the campground issues, you will still surrender a healthy portion of your reservation fee. I would suggest that people contact Nevada Irrigation district for information on the campground prior to making a reservation.

RESERVED AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!! As we arrived to our camp spot we were surprised that the spot had been taken by other family, thankfully I had reserved 3 spots but they refused to move and we were harassed to stay cramped up in 2 camp spots. Second day the same group of people told another family they wouldn’t move and forced them to stay in camp 4 instead of #14. They kept walking into our campsite. The host was never there and this was nearly resolved with violence. They never moved out of site #5

If you are tent camping this is the best spot, lots of room for multiple tents.
