Camp ground on the Eastside of the lake. Camp sites and restrooms were clean and well maintained.
For a paid campground, this was really nice. Had very clean bathrooms and pump water. Stayed Thursday night through Sunday @ $15/night. Although there were plenty of people, everyone was respectful of space and with noise. Was lucky and got a spot right on the beach. Palisades Reservoir is gorgeous. Plenty of boondocking spots (the roads were rutted and a bit sketchy) on both sides. South side has trees and the north doesn't.
Cleanest pit toilets I've ever seen! Nice spots, not crowded, easy access to the lake, seems like new picnic tables. Overall a nice campground to visit
This was a gem we found without a plan.
Beautiful sites on the lake, not many people the restrooms were clean and smelled nice. No mosquitos.
Definitely one of my favorites!
Great campground, evening fishing was fantastic, pretty quiet, nice trees, fire rings and picnic tables. The vault toilets are clean and do not smell horrible. Each site has a really nice bear box for food storage too.
