Glass on all four of our sites and the fire pits were full of ash and we cleansed them to be able to build a fire.

Great weekend from the start. Check in was easy, the attendant was very friendly and helpful. Facilities were clean and well cared for. The beach and swimming area was enjoyable. Other campers were friendly and courteous. The Rangers were very helpful and attentive to the campers and facilities. Was good to see sheriffs deputies patrolling the area but not overdone. Thanks to Corp employees, Well Done We will be back soon.

Campsite is clean, water/electric at every site I could see for RV/travel trailer. Dump station for gray & black tanks easy to access. Lower site we stayed at was easy to back into with our pull behind. Attendant was friendly & cheerful. Swimming area was clean and busy with people. Fishing was good. We will return in a few weeks.
