It is a lovely location. The lake was dry when we stayed there and the smoke from the wildfires was thick. We will come back when conditions are better. I remember coming here as a kid and it was great.

The facility was quite nice. Just wish there was a notice about the lake being dried — the campsite photo still shows water in the lake, so we were pretty surprised to find that was no longer the case. Still a beautiful place though.
Also there is potable water but you need some real strength to use the pump and it’s easier to have 2 people operating it—-one to pump and one to make sure the water that comes out actually goes into the container.

Nice campground with very nice bathrooms and showers. Boat ramps are well above water, but a quiet place (on Memorial Day weekend) to camp. Camp host was friendly and welcoming.

We like the wildcat campground since there are less cars coming through and the kids can ride the bikes mostly unimpeded. The campground looked great, and the vault toilet was probably the cleanest public toilet I've ever been in.

This site was absolutely gorgeous and I can not wait to return as soon as I can. It has an absolutely BEAUTIFUL view of the resevoir. The bathrooms were very clean and very well maintaned (better than anything I'm used to in CA). And I also really apprecaited that the staff checked in and chatted about the area. It was a incredibly kind older man and woman and you could really tell how much they love this area.
No cell service for about 30 mins down the mountain, so plan for that. And bring lots of fire wood, you're pretty high up in elevation so it stayed pretty chilly, even in June.

Best camping site I’ve eve been to in my life!

The scenery, wildlife and people were all something out of a story book. June is truly a spectacular time to go there and walk the PCT.

The campground and camp hosts were amazing. Beautiful mountain setting combined with clean bathrooms and showers made for a wonderful camping experience. If it weren't for a lake that desperately needs some water, this would have received five stars.
