We really enjoyed our stay. Our site was C3 and very nice. The spaces are very nicely spaced out and the paths through the campground are wonderful for walking through at night. Camp hosts were kind when they went by and no problem with power or water.

We love the campground but the reservoir is in bad shape. Sad to see it so low and beach is dangerous with sharp rocks under mud. Recommend shoes for sure. Facilities and hists great though.

A beautiful campground: spacious sites, water/electric, shady sites available, lovely views. The reservoir is especially low this year so no water sports or access for the dogs :-( Lots to see and do around this area, and Baker City easily reachable for whatever you need.

The campground was great! Camp host were so friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were clean and always stocked. Sad that the lake was so low but Mother Nature plays a role I that. I would definitely recommend this campground and I would definitely come back
