Great campground. The signs direct you to go right, but some the sites are facing you the wrong direction to back in a trailer and will need to enter from the left.

Great camping area. We ended up walking around the whole reservoir the first day. Then we had a great time kayaking on the reservoir. The campground was quiet, peaceful, and very enjoyable.

Lovely camp ground with a very nice host. All sites seem to have some shade, but if you want more shade choose a site on the outside of the loop.

The camp host was friendly and helpful. The campground was clean and well maintained. The views were beautiful and the trail down to the reservoir was a nice hike.
What people may not know is there is four miles of washboard road before you turn in to the campground, it gets pretty rough where it may rattle your teeth. We also experience horrible wind throughout the night, gusts up to 50 miles an hour, so be prepared for the potential of that if you are tent camping. We were in a pop-up and I thought that our top might get torn off.
