Boca Campground

It was great to relax here by the lake. Mostly quiet on the lake. The fires in the area during this time was slightly unpleasant. The lake level was pretty low but it was mentioned on the website.

So ridiculous how many “rules” are out here. We knew we weren’t allowed to ride OHVs within the campground, but forest service will not allow vehicles to even be removed from toy haulers. Our friends in the site next to us could not even use their trailer because they couldn’t unload their RZR. Campground is dusty. We left the day of our reservation and will not be back.

The host and the views were amazing. We had to go thru the back ways (Prosser Dam) due to the dam being built but it was a nice scenic route/detour. It does get bit dusty and the inconvenience of not having water at the campground was a bummer but the Boca lake was lose enough to go dive in during the day

We've camped at Boca several times. This year, the forest ranger is constantly visiting and giving campers a hard time. Inspecting camps while we are out sitting around. With everything going on this year, we are trying to get away and he came everyday we were there and bothered us. We spoke to other campers who were also hassled. We are cancelling the rest of our reservations for the year and going elsewhere. Between the bathrooms being dirty and being hassled, we were very disappointed.

Boca is a beautiful place to go to for a nice get away from the city.

Great campgrounds and really pretty! Quiet over all. My biggest complaint was with the National forest service. They came by multiple times telling us our fire wasn’t sufficiently out even when we had poured water on it. They stated it was still hot. The temp outside was close to 90*F so I feel like the metal was just hot from the sun. Over all I would go back but sort of discouraged due to the harassment we felt even when we were being cautious with the fire/fire pit.

DIrty, no water, no proper bathrooms

The campground and facilities were well kept; the host was friendly and knowledgable. Most of the individual sites had good shade and views of the water. Some of the sites are located close to one another, so if a party is loud it sounds like they are on your site. Other than that, the campground was well maintained and I will be visiting again in the future.

There was major construction taking place when I arrived at Boca Campground. Heavy equipment was working on the dam that holds back the Boca Reservoir. The normal access road was blocked and alternate routes to the campground were difficult to find or understand. This situation caught me by surprise, as it was getting dark. The area is beautiful, but better warnings of this type of work should be communicated to reservation holders.

We were unaware of the detour road to the campground. It took additional 1:15 hour to get there. Vault toilets were not cleaned often. Planning, instructions and quality definitely needs to improve. It will be really hard to get back to this ground.
