Boca Rest Campground offers a picturesque location right by the lake, with spacious sites and helpful camp hosts. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Nice to have water. We took the dogs across the road for exercise. It was just a stopover for us.

This is a nice little camp ground. The spot I had was next to the water. But the site was VERY sloped. I tried digging down one side for the tires on my trailer and filling in dirt on the other side so my trailer would sit level. But it when the trailer levelled out the step side of my trailer was about 2 ft off the ground! Also it was really early in the season, and the wind blew the entire day on Saturday. So much so there were white caps on the lake. Of course it was beautiful on Sunday when I had to pack up, check out and head home.

Not a ton of shade but we like the water access and decent cell reception.

The beach access was terrible and required walking through sites to get there. And the people on jet skis were not following laws- speeding through no wake zones and almost hit my children multiple times. When we called police, they failed to show up. I’d never camp here again.
