We enjoyed our stay despite there was hardly any water in the reservoir. We think it's very sad that draining the reservoir just to make sure the Gold Medal water below is practically overflowing its banks is SAD!! Obviously, politics and keeping a select group of people happy is more important than the reservoir and the life it supports. The campground was clean, but we had off leash dogs wandering into our site and causing problems with our leashed dogs.

This was out 2nd year at Dearhammer and will be making it an annual tradition. It’s a beautiful location with amazing fishing. The hosts are always so friendly. And the vaulted toilets are kept really clean. See you next year!
