I loved Acorn Campground ! Me and my daughter had a great stay here , we felt safe and we loved the beauty of the lake and area. They need to come cut the grass, that’s the only complaint I have lol . But I loved this place , we will come back again one day .

Good clean campground, decently clean bathrooms.
The water in the lake was amazing and generally a beautiful location.
The bathrooms also have shower area, no soap though

The dump station was full and we had no notification. Only to find out when we were going that is had a full sign and it was blocked off. Called and they said it was scheduled to be emptied in 4 days. Was difficult to find a dump station, we should have notification before booking.

The lake is beautiful. Great weather in mid April. I would stay on the east side to get son in the morning and shade in the afternoon. Restrooms are not well kept. Clean restrooms would make this place the best for camping but of course they are not clean.

My site was so sloped I could not level my LTV. I called and got a dozen other available sites to check to see if I could find something that was more level and I could not. The campground is the worse I hav seen in the last four months touring CA. The toilets were disgustingly bad and tent campers camped all around the toilets. Bad experience, we left after one night.

Park rangers were super helpful and nice! Camp site was quiet and rules were obeyed. Only gripe was my campground was littered with cigarette butts!

After only a few nights being there they had a main water pipe break we were told to leave asap it took me hours to pack up. I don't believe the refund amt is correct plus I spent most of next day searching for another campground and paying the reservation fee again.

The campground is okay. It has plenty of geese and deer along with oak lined rolling hills of grass. However, the campground closed in our last day and told everyone to leave, IMMEDIATELY! Regardless of what the campers were doing. They stayed the water main had broke that morning but the water was still running. Many of the sites are unlevel. Our site had a dead tree marked to be cut down. It did not seem well kept. They also did not have a camp host. The ranger stated that he was only a volunteer. Stay at your own risk.

We really like it here, but many of the site pads are very unlevel. Other than that, it's great.
