Paddling is good. Fishing is tough.

Great campground and lake for kayaking. Disappointed to have had our reservation shortened by two days on the front end. Park was closed from 6/24-7/8 or thereabouts us to lack of a Camp Host.

The camp was well maintained and was quiet and beautiful with great views and spots. So many trails all around and breathtaking views. I will be coming back next year when ever I can.

Wonderful place, we always enjoy it. However, the website information was not up to date regarding fire restrictions and while the campground website said fire rings were ok, they were understandably prohibited. Suggest a website update for clarity.

Campsites are pretty dusty. A slight breeze or walking around kicks up a lot of dust clouds.

Nice large sites, not too many bugs when we went in mid August. A few mosquitos at night, nothing a quick spritz of DEET couldn't handle. Lots of kayaking opportunities, but no hiking trails connect to CG - had to drive to get to any TH. No water on site and vault toilets were quite ripe. Very dusty and wildfire smoke was pretty bad in our stay. Will probably try to camp here again.

Nice, quiet campground! We liked being away from the busy boat launch, but there is no direct lake access so you still have to drive around to paddle. There is a small user trail that goes to the edge of the reeds and you might be able to carry a small kayak down, but would not have worked for our canoe. Bathrooms were very smelly, but clean.

We had site #2 at Mallard Marsh and it was very quiet and roomy. Just a short walk to a path that led to lake access where we kept our kayaks. Hosmer Lake is gorgeous.

Great lake for kayaking. Campsites are not great. Too dusty! Not much that is attractive about them.

Campsite was nice, very roomy and felt very isolated from other sites. The toilet though was absolutely horrid.
