McPhee Campground

Loved site 24 for 4 nights. Place was almost empty but reservation.gov showed mostly full. I hope the site gets it together soon. Very misleading. However the place is awesome. Bathroom has flush toilet and clean. Camp host was a super cool guy named Gene. I will be back. Great fishing trip!

Overall, this was a great campground. Our camp host was really personable and always out and about in the campground. I do wish he would have addressed the dog never on a leash that arrived half way through our stay. The 2nd camp host also limited the trash we could throw since there was only 1 dumpster being used. I booked 3 campsites for our group of 10; 25E, 29E, and 4E. 25E has tons of shade and trees. 29E has no shade except for the pavilion over the picnic table. 4E has a very small area for a tent with some shade over picnic table. 10 minute drive to the marina, but water levels are extremely low.

I didnt stay at the campground but I grabbed all the information to return and it did appear clean and with various lots available to RV and Tent Camping including space for water toys to park. RV camping could be reserved with hookups, and many were reserved. The local reservoir is HUGE! Hiking trails nearby and plenty of sunshine. Checkout the CanDo Trail and history of the reservoir.

The campground is well maintained with lots of space between sights. The rest of the park looks a little bit on the abandoned side. On the Juniper loop they have community water locations which is interesting as they could have plumbed each bay individually. The bathrooms are older but well maintained. There appears to be a dump station but it is very overgrown and locked with gates on both sides. Lake access is limited to a boat Marina which does not have a beach line at the moment due to high water levels. In short if you don't have a watercraft don't expect to be in the lake.

Clean, large campground with many empty sites on the cusp of off-season. Overseen by the sunniest, most helpful host ever. It is worth the trek just to visit with her.
