We were there midweek through the weekend. Super quiet during the week. Bathrooms were clean and showers functioning. (Water pressure a little low) This time of the year, it was dry, still hot and little shade. The weekend brought in a full house with almost every campsite occupied. This definitely affected the bathrooms along with noise levels.

Would not have been near as bad if the bathrooms were restocked a little bit more often had toilet paper 2 of the 7 days we were there.

Very pretty, nicely maintained campground on a very scenic resevoir. It is conveniently located within 10 minutes of Valley Springs where there are stores, restaurants, hardware store, and gas stations.

The place is very neglected trash everywhere. Filled a trash bag full in just our campsite. The fire pits has so much ash and cigarette butts in it shows it has not been clean in quite awhile.
We have been to this campground for several years and it has never been this bad. Shows that they do not camp host.

Great campground. Many shaded tree sites. We were in three different spots and liked them all. Also liked the close proximity to Valley Springs for reprovisioning. We'll be back!

Overall I liked the site. A few things to keep in mind:
- One of the better paths down to the water comes off this site, so you'll have a lot of people cutting through this site to get to the water
- Closest water spigot is at Site 29 (across the road from this site)
- There are a number of trees that provide okay shade. Most folks seem to bring shade structures that can move down near the water.
- There's a definite temperature difference between the water and the campsite on hot days.
- This is more of a party campground. Outside quite hours, there were normally at least 3 sites blaring music. Thankfully the loudest on the Saturday I visited played music I liked.
- Slightly excited kids in the water will sound like they're having a normal conversation in your campsite. Normally not a problem, until someone decides to have a predawn swim...
- There's a little more trash than I'm used to at campsites, but nothing outlandish. Most of it is small items like bottle caps, cigarette butts, plastic that's broken off something and blown in the wind. Do be careful if you go off trail, some folks weren't cleaning up after their dogs.
- At night, you can get some strong northerly winds. I suggest setting your tent up south of the fire pit. I ended up needing to douse my fire early on Saturday since winds were pushing embers too close to my tent.
- Bring toilet paper and hand soap. The soap dispenser in the men's bathroom was broken. Also the bathrooms ran out of toilet paper on Sunday morning. I don't really fault the park here, they had two full rolls Saturday afternoon and evidence that someone wasted a lot.
- With Mint (T-mobile) I was able to get/send SMS messages in most of the site. I could barely get data right where the site turns into the path down to the water. I was unable to send MMS messages while at the site.

The campsite had cigarette butts and trash all over. Trash left in fire pit. I spent a lot of time cleaning the dirty campsite. The bathrooms were okay, but people need to learn to flush. Generators ran past 10PM, and music was playing at a nearby
site that was a bit too loud.loud talkers and someone turned car headlights on and left them on for over 20 minutes at night, shining into my site and others. There is no regard for anyone else but their own. No camper etiquette.

This place is cheap and it will always attract that sort of crowd. Leave your site better than you found it should be posted at every site.
