Wow! What a beautiful camp ground. The host was friendly and kept the camp ground in perfect shape. The bathrooms where always clean and stocked. I was impressed with each camp site and having the bear boxes added that extra sense of security.

This is a very nice campground with a wonderful host. The only trouble is its close proximity to a gun shooting range. The sound of gunshots at the crack of dawn is unsettling and I bet if you could ask the bald eagles, they would agree.

The spot had stunning views of the reservoir and a large level spot for camping materials! The bear box was bigger than expected and the camp host was very sweet. It’s a little hard to get to bathrooms without walking through the adjacent spot (if it is also booked), but absolutely possible.

Gerry the manager @ this campsite is a very warm host. He will try to work things out if there is a conflict. The campsites are nice also. There is no water, but that is not an issue. There are plenty of places to get to the water area for recreation. Boca Recreation Area will always be on my list of places to check out!

We love the CG and views! We do not like the dirt and dust - if RecGov could just gravel the main driveway on lower loop it would be ideal! We also didn’t like that the camp host wanted to see our drivers licenses and then put on a piece of paper for potential identity theft. Thank you

No water is available. However, fees are the same as campsites that provide water.

Very dusty and sites are alongs the unpaved access roads. Traffic passing by frequently leave campsites and equipment in a fog of fine dust.

Numerous campers running very large and loud generators at all hours of the day and night.
