The site was very well set up and clean. The camp hosts were super friendly and helpful. Rain, wind, and mountain storms happen often in the canyon, so prepare for that! Make sure to keep food in secure containers (a lot of chipmunks around haha) Spillway has a great overlook hiking trail that starts right in the campground (its a must do! Beautiful views of the canyon and 11 mi reservoir) I would highly recommend staying at this campground if you are looking for a fun weekend of fishing!

Beautiful campsite next to the river and just below the dam. Plenty of shade. Some of the sites are small but a few have plenty of space from other campsites. The only complaint we have is the long and sometimes very narrow road up the canyon to the campgrounds. Also the road is extremely dusty and required a thorough cleaning of our class C motor home when we got home. We will go back but stay at one of the campgrounds further down the canyon. BTW, the fishing was very good.

The spillway is our favorite place to camp for years; the camp hosts this year were excellent and went above and beyond. We have never seen the camp sites so clean, as well as the restrooms and the pathways. The campground was quiet when it was suppose to be and we were able to enjoy ourselves throughout or visit.

The campsites were up on a hill and couldn't hold as many people as it said it could. Luckily we had someone go ahead to try and get a first come first serve campsite. If we hadn't done that, the camping would have been terrible....
