Most sites are not level. Site 2 and 3 worked out for our 36 foot trailer. Love the peaceful area. Great for dogs. Hope to return.

Bathrooms were beyond disgusting. Camp sites were all slanted making tent camping difficult.

Bathrooms were disgusting, theft, violence, harassment, people stealing campsites like Red Bluff,CA. Evil flies. Ranger staff and host we're great, even the sheriffs dept. The campground needs bathrooms updated. And some policy changes, I know everyone that stays in parks like this would prefer overnight ranger staff potrols. Everyone knows when they leave and hour later is when it goes down hill till 5am in many parks throughout the country.

I was disappointed by the overall quality of the campground, the sites were sloping and unkept, the facilities were nice in theory but clearly under cared for. We were disappointed by the lack of accountability other guests were held to by rangers and campground hosts, music was blasting from various sites starting at 7:00am and rolling well past 10:00pm. People were leaving their dogs unattended in their tents/at their sites which was difficult because our dogs then just got barked at and we couldn’t enjoy our site in any sort of peace.
Was also disappointed by the amount of smoking (cigarettes/ weed) that was taking place in bathroom facilities.
We left within 24 hours of our arrival; it wasn’t worth it to stay. Be wary if you go in the fall months, leaves had all dropped and the heat was oppressive (that’s on us)
I imagine the experience would be better in the spring, and with more considerate guests / people who were holding them
accountable

Terrible website. Long phone hold time. They need a better way to be able to camp especially at places with very few campers at them.

Nice campground. Lake was low so I would recommend going in the spring when it is fuller. Bathrooms are pretty dirty, but useable.
