The new camp host is incredible. They have implemented improvements to keep the campground green and clean. The campground is definitely making a comeback, and I would recommend it to anyone.

The attendant was friendly and is doing a great job maintaining and sprucing up this older camp ground. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely return again when in the area.

Campground is obviously not taken care of. The grass is dry and crunchy. It would be advantageous to the forest service To put in a boat check so people will be back and canal company is satisfied. Everything is so overgrown around the water and campers aren’t allowed to do anything but swim, no boats, no skiing, or any kind of floaty. It is hard to get down to the water to even fish. I don’t think that the fish have been restocked for years. It is full of carp. This reservoir was always packed with people And it was taken care of. Now your just Collecting a site fee. No one is satisfied. We have decided not to have our family reunion there next year. It’s very sad.

Camp Host was great. The only complaint is there are lots of mosquitoes and we couldn’t find our insect repellent. That’s more on us though.

Overall this is a very nice campground. The particular site that we chose is large and works well for a large family reunion type situation. The campground had recently received some rain and much of the grass was green. The campground has running water which makes it great for camping so that you don't have to bring as much water with you. Overall the site was nice and clean and worked well for our visit.

It’s close to Bryce. The restroom is not an expected one.
