Mel Rieman Recreation offers a beautiful and peaceful camping experience with well-maintained sites and stunning views. Campers appreciated the cleanliness of the facilities, helpful camp hosts, and the spaciousness that allows for privacy. While there are minor concerns like limited cell service and some amenities needing improvement, overall, visitors found it to be a great spot for relaxation and family fun.

Beautiful campsite, lots of trees for privacy. The vault toilet was a bit of a hike from my campsite, but that would be my only complaint.

We are surprised to see such a beautiful park, so well maintained with hardly anyone else there. It has all the amenities you would need and overall a peaceful and relaxing place to camp and take it all in. We even got to listen to the packs of coyotes howling in the distance. A really great spot.

We loved the park, spacious with plenty of places to walk and hike. We endured 2 storms while there. The Rangers came by to warn us and provide evacuation details. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice level spots. We have a small popup so no issues with space. Nice trees for shade. More traffic driving by on the road up above us but not horrible. Bathrooms and showers are nice.

Great place to stay! Nice camp sites, relatively quiet, nice play ground for kids, a pretty big swimming area and a lot of parking for boat trailers with a decent boat ramp. Fun for the whole family! One of my top 5 places for camping that isn't multiple hours away from home.
