What Guests Are Saying

Coyote Point is an excellent location for group camping, offering a pleasant environment and nice restroom facilities. However, it can feel less private due to foot traffic from visitors, raising concerns about theft and cleanliness. Improvements are needed in terms of shade, grounds maintenance, and restroom sanitation.

Wish that random people wouldn't be able to come walk through or ride their bikes to check out the group site. It's a reserverd priviate site, but often get families walking through as if it's a public site. Have to worry about theft, and lock the vehicles at night. (Not the part where there is bike/hiking trails, but actually walking through the road round about.) OR boats that come to the group site, park their boat on shore, and come up to use the restroom. Do wish there was more shade after they cut down the giant oak tree, camping on the point is hot.

The pavilion and table could use a DEEP CLEANING.
The grounds could use a GOOD cleaning, nut shells and other stuff all over the grounds as well as NAILS, lots of nails. We picked up a baggie full of them.

Might think about putting some sort of sign up that the GROUP campsite is reserved for X day to X day, to detour kids riding bikes down, people walking dogs down and around the sites

Coyote Point is a great spot for group camping! Toilet was nice! Wish there were a couple more shade trees. We had to shoo away the deer at night. The only thing I didn’t like were the tiny leeches that got on our feet when we went in the lake.

I wish the reservation experience was easier. It's literallly impossible to reserve weekend unless you set your clock a year ahead. Don't like the random people that come walk through exploring the site, either walking or the bikers. We have seen some sketchy people walk through, as if they are looing for something. I love how it's your own island, having your own shore for boats and jet skiis. Since it holds 50 people, great for family reunions and celebrating events while camping. Dog friendly and they clean the restrooms on a regular basis. We have been coming here for years, but lately really hard to reserve now. Rangers are friendly as well!

Thoroughly enjoyed Coyote Point! It was especially nice with the lake level FULL! My only complaint is I wish they would make it available throughout the year and not only May to Sept.

Every time we come here we have a great experience and the last visit was no exception. The park rangers are very responsive to questions and the camp area is clean when we arrive. One of my favorite places to camp in California!
