Excellent camp sites. The lower loop is more spread out than most. The 2 upper loops are very spread out. We were in #8 and it was fantastic. Could hear the waterfall and see the reservoir and far sides. Lush, a bit of rain, great reservoir, nice hike around, and fantastic temperatures (we were coming from Tucson). I would go back to this campground again and stay a bit longer.

Clean services, site was ready and well groomed. Friendly camp host. Beautiful setting. What more could we ask for?

Still one of my favorite places. New camp host, but no change in friendliness, restroom maintenance or general campground upkeep. Fishing was really good. Crowds over the weekend were considerate and seemed to have a good time. The road in was the roughest it's ever been (might be because of a wet season so far). I have Starlink so I had wi-fi coverage but was told that a cell signal for Verizon was available. Only one dog family letting their dog bark in the second loop. Ospreys, marmots, weasels, pikas, deer and waterfowl are just some of the animals hanging out around the reservoir.

Winds held up fishing for a couple days but we explored and found other things to do.
Nice campground.

The campground is well laid out, and the sites are spaced out so there is adequate privacy. The bathrooms were very clean.

This campground was very nice. Some sites more exposed than others in regards to altitude sunshine. It was clean and quiet. The reservoir was nice with good fishing. There were quite a few “day trippers” visiting each day we were there, but never felt overcrowded. The campground hosts were friendly and huge praise to them for the cleanliness of the campground, especially the vault toilets! We have never been camping anywhere that had cleaner vault toilet stands!
Our only hit on this campground is that the water spigots are not on each loop and you actually have to drive to fill your containers (we had a Jerry can) if you aren’t in one of the three loops that have a spigot.
We would return.
