There is no running water at the restroom faucets, but the toilets flush. The hand sanitizer in the restrooms was empty (ugh)!
The campsite driveway was uneven.

Wonderful staff, very clean restrooms (no running water in sinks, toilets only), easy to navigate campsite and safe! We were really happy with our stay. We prefer the BLM side over the private camping ground/sites because those are stacked on top of one another. The BLM side is further apart with a little more privacy.

Had so much fun! Staff was super nice, lake was beautiful and the stars were gorgeous at night. We loved the fact that we can bring our pets. Only downside is there is no potable water but we did our research and were able to prepare for the ahead of time. Theres also a grocery store not too far away if you really need something.

Really wish that people would cancel their reservations if they don’t want it .
There are no first come first sights at this campground anymore !
Even the tent meadows is reservable . Things have changed so much over the past 30 years. It’s very frustrating.
You used to lose your reservation if you didn’t contact the campground by the second day .
Sights sit unoccupied but unavailable.
There NEEDS to be a means to make phone calls back home !!!!!
We really miss the pay phone they removed !!!

My favorite camping spot in Oregon. However our campsite neighbors had one of this generators that is used in workshops, much louder than the ones used by RVs normally.
It was so loud and they’d leave it running for hours! We could hear it down by the lake. It made eating at our campsite awful. I couldn’t even have a conversation with my family. Rangers were clearly annoyed by it too but said they couldn’t do anything.
It would get turned on right when quiet time ended and then be turned off at the start (10:00-7:00). I’ve never been around such inconsiderate people while camping.
I hope the policy around noises change to consider items like generators exceeding a certain decibel limit.
