Many visitors appreciated the clean facilities, access to water, and peaceful atmosphere, though there were concerns about site reservation management and the lack of shade. Some campers experienced issues with noise and enforcement of rules, but overall, the natural beauty and water access remain highlights of the campground.

Good access for fishing, kayaking , and accessing the dirt roads and trails behind Verdi Peak. Campground is right on the reservoir with two loops and a bathroom in each loop. It’s also right off Stampede Road, which gets busy midsummer. Campground is pretty exposed with few trees and lots of trash in the bushes, fire pits. Lots of reserved spots where people didn’t show or cancel.

I really never saw a FS representation any days I was there. The dumpster was full, generators were going, and I had to kick a guy out of my campsite when I returned from an excursion. Otherwise, the area is beautiful.

The site itself was beautiful with great water access, but zero rule enforcement ruined our stay. Our site lacked proper reservation signage, causing other parties to occupy our space before we arrived. The neighbors to our left encroached on our boundary with six vehicles and repeatedly let their dog wander into our camp, ignoring warnings that our dog was not friendly. Massive noise disruptions lasted until 2:00 AM. Despite being parked just a few sites down, the camp host never intervened and was completely unresponsive when we went to ask for help. We ultimately felt so uncomfortable that we packed up and left at 6:00 AM. This park desperately needs clear site markers and staff who actually enforce quiet hours.

There was no campground host. One camper stated the host became irritated and left. The camp ground entrance sign was flat on the ground and appeared it had been there for weeks. There was one 81/2 x 11 sheet of paper posted on the rest room stating the water was not potable and to boil it before use. There were no signs on any of the water supply valves. There was no way to tell if the information was accurate or not. I have been camping in USFS campgrounds for years. I have never seen such poor management in my life.

The location and being right on the Lake was great. However... we have gone to Boca Rest Campground for over 10 years and this year was aweful! The camp host although present did nothing the whole time we were there. When we arrived, someone was in our site, the reserved signs where blank so people just assumed they where all available. We had to personally ask them to leave and wait for them. Then we had other site campers decide our camp site was open for all to come and be at the lake. We had to call the Sheriffs after physical altercations happened between our Nextdoor neighbors and the uninvited campers. The Camp Host never showed up to help us! This was all on the first day!
In addition, the restrooms were not cleaned and no toilet paper during our entire 6 day stay.
The Camp Host was HORRIBLE and should be fired.
Campers beware is all I can say.

The campsite is under new oversite. The camp host (Ben) did not come out of his coach to check the area at all!
Other campers showed up and over ran sites and were not managed at all. The Nevada County Sheriffs office responded to an incident and the camp host never check on the camp site. He also allowed camp fires even though a
"NO CAMPFIRE" Notice was issued.

This campground is not very well maintained. The bathrooms are a biohazard 99% of the times.

Campground is great ! Love the large amount of space our site had (#33) with easy access and beautiful views of the lake . We had an RV with awning so even though the spot had no shade trees it was no big deal .
