We had to park along the road. There was no place to pull our car onto the campsite, which decreased our privacy and our safety as we unloaded the car. The campsite was pleasant and had a great view, but our campsite was the shortcut for people headed to the privy. We loved Trial Lake and plan to return, but not to this campsite unless you are hoping for lots of uninvited guests.

Camp sites are very close together.
Rest rooms were clean.
Water spigots throughout the campground but we’re not turned on. Had to get fresh water at different campground.

Lake was 20+ ft low. Was told on site that I Couldn’t have camp fires making me have to leave the next day because I didn’t have propane to cook with. Camp was crowded, babies crying, dogs barking all night and mornings. Overall horrible experience.

I guess if there was literally no where else to stay, I would stay there... or maybe I'd just go home. Barking dogs, uneven RV spots, stinky bathrooms with doors that slam all night. Head up to Washington Lake, instead. We switched after one night.
