Was our first time at Winnie Dam Campground. Learned we had to first make a reservation for a site and the campground host cannot make it so the park ranger helped. It is a very nice campground with big wooded sites but the mosquitoes are plentiful. would be nice if they sprayed the area. They have a nice picnic area by the dam.

Very nice, well kept campground and facilities. Quiet and on the smallish side, though more expensive than other campgrounds definitely worth and would stay again.
