Site 4 has great views but not level side to side for our 35’ 5th wheel (can only park parallel to the road) but we managed. It also sits close to the road but otherwise a great stay for a few days.

The scenery was beautiful but the campers there the weekend we visited were too noisy riding their dirt bikes, moving their vehicles around and late night partying. The camp sites were close to one another, offering little privacy. The only great thing was the camp hosts, John and Kim. They were awesome in every way. I would not want to camp there again unless it's off season as the location is very nice.

I love this campground! I was lucky to have #12- a very nice site right near the water. This campground has clean restrooms & good camp hosts- who keeps a close eye on the entire campground. I stay here every year, although when the reservoir is high- some camps are not available, bc they are under water part of the camping season. Beautiful sunrises & sunsets!

Well site #37 is very dusty. There is no gravel as stated. Also, there was no camp host or firewood signage that I could see driving in. Looks like other campers brought their own wood. Otherwise, nice place to stay. The sites are very large and campsite was very quiet at 10 pm

Most of the campsites are on the side of a hill with no level spot for your trailer takes lotta blocks to get a level and then a big jump to get in and out of the trailer… It was very clean the Campos did everything she could to make it a happy stay
