Beautiful view, clean, nice camp host! What more could you want! Oh and There's water!!! was 2 other camp sites in the loop we in but plenty of room we felt like we were alone.
Great views and a few short steps to the beautiful lake! Only problem was the rangers and sherifs will make their rounds by your campsite quite often.
This was a pleasant surprise. Access down to the water can be a bit difficult in places, but we had a wonderful trip here. Our campsite did have some shade cover provided by the oak trees. All of the staff were very pleasant to interact with as well! Would go back here again
What a fine campsite. My whole family spent four days there (animals included) and enjoyed it greatly. Jay, the Volunteer Host is a fantastic fellow - Kind, generous and very helpful. They even gave my 14 month old daughter some really sweet stickers and a coloring book. The service and scenery doesn't get any better than this. Can't wait to go back.
Additionally, the neighboring campers are quite friendly. One fellow even jumped my car after a dead battery. We didn't even have to ask, he just showed up with a smile.
I highly recommend this campground to all!
