Sites were clean. But bring lots of wedges to level your RV, all sites have a moderate down slope to lake. Also good wheel chocks or you may find your RV in the lake. But for the price per night we will go back but better prepared this time.

A great campground to stay at. We’ll maintained. Easy access to the lake, although the lake is low at this time, I have been here when it was full. Great for fishing ,boating and swimming.

We didn’t even stay. We pulled in and left. sites are WAY to close to each other. If you were having a huge group it would be alright but for a small group with 1 site I highly DONT recommend.

Enjoyed our stay this time, campsites were very clean thanks to the camp host who works very hard, bathrooms not so much, need to pay camp host to clean daily, not everyone cleans up after themselves, all in all, a very good stay.

We visited in mid-February, 2022. The reservoir level was low, due to the drought that western states have been dealing with recently. The campground, in general, was nice and clean, but restrooms were not (at least, not near us). Also, apparently, the camp was very understaffed, as both camp hosts and rangers were rarely seen, and some administrative tasks were not being done. For example, when we arrived, there was no "Reserved" tag on our campsite post, which could have been a problem if someone had come in and thought it was available. The information board at the campground entrance says that, if a campsite doesn't have a "Reserved" tag, it is available, so the fact that tags were not placed could have cause some confusion. Also, we expected that a ranger or camp host would have come by and given us vehicle passes for our stay (per the information board at the entrance) but we had to go to the camp headquarters to get them. I spoke with the young lady at the reception desk, and she said that staffing was a real problem, and I hope it gets resolved. All interactions with staff were very cordial, and I know that they were trying to take care of a lot of different things with few people.
We came in on a Wednesday, and things were nice and quiet until Friday, when a large group of campers came in, and ran generators all day. They weren't particularly noisy, but just made sitting outside less pleasant than otherwise.
All in all, it was nice campground, and we are glad that we came when we did, as apparently summer temps are very high. We had high 60's/low 70's during the day, and 40's at night - very pleasant.

Beautiful campground and lake. Noisy neighbor. Bathroom needs to be updated.

There were too many people staying in campsites. Some had four tents. Too many cars /trucks at campsites some parking in the road. There needs to be much better supervision.
Hogan has gone down hill in the last 5 or 6 years. We just came home without even staying the night we paid for.

The bathroom near site 4 could use a good cleaning with maybe a tile cleaner.
