The staff was amazing and very helpful. The sites are not very close and unmanicured (no lawns) the way camping should be. We will return!!!

Clean, quite, well maintained campground with friendly helpful camp hosts. Because we were there before the reservoir is drawn down later in the summer, we were able to do a lot of kayaking and saw a lot of birds[eagle, osprey, blue herons, white pelicans, ducks, geese, brands, etc]. Fishing was only fair. Mountain bike/hiking trails around lake. Near historic downtown Baker City and the Oregon Trail Museum as well as the small town of Sumpter that has a huge Flea Market three weekends each summer.

The last 2 years we have had the group section rented and received nothing but harassment for one reason or another. I have never seen such poor unfriendly management. Our group has been going their every year for the past 35 years and it's been terrible the last couple times. If we find a different place we will go somewhere else . Camping is supposed to be enjoyable not having to worry about the management coming by in their carts to see what we are doing wrong this time. I would recommend new management before nobody camps in this campground anymore. With low lake levels, outdated boat launch, no swimming area, and poor management I would recommend somewhere else if you have a choice.
