What a wonderful campground! Even though the water is low we had a fantastic time.
The trail around the lake is beautiful and our group campsite was huge!
Also, I don’t think I have seen campground restrooms that clean!

Beautiful campground on the water. Very well maintained. Friendly hosts. Nice nearby trails.
There are first come first serve walk up sites next to the group spots. They do not show on the map. As a result, you are not quite as secluded as the site map makes it appear

Campground is clean and shady (full hook-up sites). We enjoyed checking out the surrounding towns and ghost towns.

Our favorite early season campground in Oregon. Campground hosts are always wonderful and the bathrooms are the most immaculate of any campground we have visited. EVER!

The campground was very nice, as always.
However the reservoir was only at 17% so I couldn't launch a boat and there wasn't a swimming area. The 2 reasons I made my reservations!
The topper though was the $10 fee to dump my trailer waste tank. I have never seen this additional charge anywhere that I have paid for overnight space rental. I doubt that I'll be back if this charge remains.

Beautiful campground. We love that the camping spots were not packed in too close together. We had plenty of room without someone else in our face. The camp hosts were very helpful and friendly. The water level was very low but that didn't stop us from having a great time. We drove the short distance to Sumpter and explored the area. It's a beautiful, clean campground and we will definitely go back.
