First of all, I like to see the Rangers you have working at Hogan Reservoir are the most respectful, kindest cause people I've met now I've rented a spot a week before Christmas break and Ranger went by and I asked him if the showers will work, he said, as far as he knows yes He's over there checking them out as well and only people around me had trailers and the other old showers. I want to go take a shower put my 50 Cent in in the water dribbled on me lukewarm that it turned cold. I was already wet and it's a cold shower when it was only like 38° outside , that's my biggest complaint please fix it. Thank you very much.

Restrooms are in need of some CLEANING! Whoever is getting paid to clean up the bathrooms is NOT doing the job!!! Shower water temperature needs to be higher in the winter.

Quiet and clean camp grounds. Park rangers patrol grounds. Bathrooms could be cleaned more often.

Horrible. Site 17. Boulders so can’t pull out slide. Especially if you want to open the door! Sloped so much can’t get the bubble to appear on the level . Need small trailer <20 ft to be in that site.

Don't really care for having to reserve the sites online. If you need to change anything, you get charged. Showers were not clean. Wished they had a generator section of the park. 10pm curfew and can't start back until 6am, even though rangers asked us to wait until later. $20 a night is a little steep, but they are the cheapest in the area.

The pictures of the campsites are old, so the lake views are nonexistent. There was a creepy guy walking his dog that wasn’t camping there that kept stopping at my campsite. There’s also an abandoned dog that roams around who barks constantly day and night! The camp hosts became annoyed when i asked them questions or voiced concerns. Do yourself a favor and skip this place.

Bathrooms need better cleaning not just paper refill.
