Multiple extremely shady campsites. Many with water and electricity, no sewer. There is a nice slow running River nearby with a boat launch. At the time I was here the river was running maybe at about 1 mph. Easy kayaking heavily wooded area on the back side of the lake Pomona. No walking trails to speak of. We could take a 2-mile walk around the area and down a gravel road and back. Campsites in the fall will be limited by the walnut trees dripping sap whenever that starts to happen. There are a great number of walnut trees. We plan on coming back multiple times in the future.

We stayed at campsite 24. There is a large black locust tree growing there with very large thorns. We were fortunate we did not suffer any flat tires or thorns thru our flip-flops. The site does not have shade during the hottest part of the day. The COE built a new bathhouse for the campground but it is too small for the number of campers. They need to build an additional bathhouse to adequately serve the number of campers.
