Customer Reviews
This is a very small nice Campground- there are only 9 campsites and they have limited day use. Camp host is awesome- very nice, hospitable, and helpful. Campground gives you easy access to water, and you have day use table that you can use right next to the water. Bathrooms are clean, camp spots are clean and nice. Water is nice and clean, you do have a lot of big rocks- very small sand area for kids which is limited because it is part of a day use spot. I would highly recommend it for kayaking, paddleboarding, Love this place. Please keep clean and pickup after yourself- we did see a limited amount of thrash from others that were left behind.
Great camping spot went solo but seems more like a large family spot most of the sites even the singles are jam packed with tents making for some close neighbors at certain sites. The rates recently increased but not by much you can pay card or check. Overall the best lake accessible camping on the lake. Decent bathrooms, nice boat launch, but limited parking for day use so arrive early. It would be a 5/5 in my book but each visit I get disturbed by a close neighbor. Last year it was a guy running his gas generator for 8 hours a day this year was some people cutting wood during the quite time hours and then blasting a radio during the day, can’t do much about that though just hope people are neighborly for your time.
Beautifully maintained campground with lake access. Seasonal creek runs behind campsites until about August. Picnic tables and barbeques in day use area. $5 fee per vehicle for day use. Well worth it.
The place was great, until you wanted to cook food. Then every yellow jacket in California was swarming you. I got stung, your going to get stung. Bring a screened in gazebo and you should be ok.
The park is clean and well maintained, but the meat bee's are the worst. All throughout the morning while you are trying to cook they are all around you swarming your every move. A screened in pop up would easily fix that, but you would also need one over your eating area. We go every year to celebrate 3 August birthday babies and was most excited about returning this year because the water was up and there was more to float on. We come during the weekday and end the trip on the weekend because that is the most peaceful time. Most campers are settling in Friday night so that is when it tends to get busy here. The down side is there are only 10 camp sites and you can not reserve ahead of time. So that is another reason why we head out there during the week. Most families with kids only camp
