Some nice big sites. We were unable to stay because we were evacuated for the Willow fire. We were well informed and no panic was caused.

Very nice campground! Nestled in the woods near a beautiful lake and it seems every spot is nice spot. The camp host is very nice, super helpful and the bathrooms are very clean. Good reception for TMobile and Verizon for those who need it.
However it is disappointing that no water is available.

Great spot at Turquoise Lake! We were in #37 which was conveniently close to the clean vault toilet and access to the nature trail down to the lake. Hiked the lake trail one day we were there and found it crazy windy at the campgrounds down by the lake - glade we were up in the forest! Group up the hill from us was quite noisy at night but we couldn't hear them at all (niece staying in #38 could!). Able to get this spot for a mid-week stay on short notice which was nice. Never saw the folks show up for spot #36 which always makes me furious. How about a new rule where if people don't show up for their reservation, they can't make advance reservations anymore??
