Curlew Campground is clean, well-kept, and offers beautiful views, especially at sunset. The friendly hosts are actively improving the campground, making it a pleasant place for midweek stays. However, some guests noted the lack of swimming due to water quality issues and expressed concerns about the campground's maintenance and accessibility to the water.

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.

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.

We spent the weekend in #8. We had some absolutely gorgeous views in this spot. There was a storm while we camped so we really got some phenomenal all around views. The bathrooms were very clean. Camp host is new but friendly. The roads were well maintained.
The only negative we had was the other campers who blew through right next to the camp sites at full speed kicking up dust.

Was hoping for a shower. Maybe that was asking too much. However, biggest issue was that the entire lake was supposedly not fit for swimming because of chemicals in the water. That info needs to be posted when people make a reservation. I was hoping to standup paddle board and swim. I would not have stayed at this location if I had known in advance that those activities were banned or not recommended. Also, there was a pretty serious fire nearby, but there appeared to be no camp host to provide possible evacuation notice. Fortunately, it appeared to be put out. Other than that, the campsite was clean and nicely arranged.
