Such a nice campsite. We stop here on our way to Idaho. But would like to stay longer. Large private campsites. Clean flush toilets. Very nice.

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.
