The water was extremely low. We got in trouble for driving down to the water. We also got in trouble for not being gone by 2 when we were the only ones in the whole campground and we had no idea we were suppose to be out. We also got in trouble for parking in the parking next door when we were the only ones in the whole campground. Very strict rules!

Stumbled upon Oak Knoll when looking for a camp site with swimming available. We came during the middle of the week after 4th of July weekend. It was empty. Found a well shaded campsite to stay at. Excellent star watching, tons of wildlife visitors, had service for my cell phone, inexpensive. The outhouses were large and did not smell. BBQ and a fire pit Pets okay. No showers but lake was refreshing.
Thank you Oak Knoll. I would come back earlier in the year, preferably a warmer spring week.

Basic campground with pit toilets. If you go around the lake a bit to the Acorn Campground, you get flush toilets and showers. There’s a troll that comes down the hill to fight with you about politics. He rides a little scooter and complains that the election was stolen. The lake is so low you need to walk about 1/4 mi to the water, but the water is full of leeches. They don’t hurt you but they’re hard to scrape off if you have a lot of them. If you walk a half mile or so, out to a point, you can get past the leeches. There are signs everywhere saying not to have a fire, but most campers ignore that and have a fire anyways because who really cares if the whole thing burns down, right? Party on! Expect a lot of commercial country and some rap, and lots of classic rock, but not good classic rock, more like Coldplay and Nickelback. I also heard a boat blaring Skrillex who most would agree isn’t music at all. The sites are all tilty. Overall great weekend! But I wouldn’t go there again.

Campground was nearly empty. We had not made a reservation but was told that we needed one through recreation.gov to stay. Later we found 3 campsites available on first come first serve basis. Staff was unfriendly and not very helpful. We were most frustrated with towing a 30 ft trailer and turning down a road that dead ended with no signage warning us of no outlet. We will not be going back.

Horrible place. Will never go back. The scenery is ugly, there is no other way to describe it, it is desert dry, the lake is crazy low, there are geese in the water and their feces is everywhere including in the water. And there are leeches in the water !!!

Campground was clean overall, but the space we rented, #48, had garbage in it when we arrived that we had to clean up, and it was sloped so things kept sliding around. I wouldn’t recommend that particular space, but would recommend the campground.
The tree next to the picnic table was full of ants, so bring ant spray with you.
Park rangers were friendly and helpful.
