What a wonderful place to get away. Lake is a little low, but still a great get-away. Highly recommended

My visit happened to fall in the middle of the August 2020 wildfires, so the smoke was at the peak worst throughout the state, but wasn’t too terrible at this site. Lots of shade and trees that filtered a decent amount of the bad air. There are both vaulted and flushing toilets, no showers, but had a good amount of site space. Jackson Meadows Reservoir was beautiful, it would be great for people with a boat.
My negatives are that if you don’t have a boat, there weren’t too many hiking trail options, most days we drove an hour to elsewhere to explore. My other negative are people not picking up after their dogs, I discovered a growing number of dog feces surrounding my site throughout my stay. Please do not let your dogs wander out of your sight and let them defecate just anywhere.
