My Husband was sent to work in the area in a short notice so as full-time rver's we came into town thinking it'd be easy to get a spot for a month or two well we quickly found that not to be the case. I called and was able to book a couple nights and eventually with some thoughtful planning on their website was able to book sites even if we had to move around the park it was better then nothing.
Peggy and her staff are absolutely amazing. The bathrooms and sites are spotless as well as the rest of the park.
We love it here and even if my Husband isn't working in the area next year we fully plan to spend part of summer here next year.
This place is soon becoming a family traditional getaway. From the beautiful scenery that surrounds the campsite, to the little convenient store, the playground & even the tiniest of libraries (yes, you read right - a library ) on site. Enjoy fishing? There is from catfish to trout & even bass. Also theres no shorthand of wild life. It's just an amazing, pacific atmosphere. It is well maintained & very clean. The staff is friendly as well. If & when you want to cut loose, give it a try.
I've stayed at many places on this lake and this was my first time at this campground. We tent camped right on the lake. Pros- great view cons - the campground has made zero effort in clearing the brush so you can better see the lake. I also had family that had their motorhome in the campground; it was the most narrow site wedged between two of the main dirt roads. The part of this campground that was the worst for me was the showers are token showers (it's cheap enough to have a coin based shower but then to make it a token one? Awful.) We tried to use the token based showers... The machine that converts cash into tokens wouldn't take any of our cash. So we didn't take a shower but what I did see was one token gives you -2 minutes of shower time. There is a pin to use the bathroom and I definitely forgot it most of the time which was annoying. I know what you're thinking-the campground has nice security right? Well there is a security gate to get into the place so it's pretty gross that the people they're inconveniencing are the ones that are staying there. Lastly I reserved a space with my sister and we were anticipating originally that I would get there first. Plans changed and she ended up getting there before me ... Well we called and emailed and the first response was she couldn't check in if I wasn't there (same last name and it's a patch of dirt) then after revealing our circumstances they made it really clear they will never do this for us again but allowed it this one time. Not sure how many times other people hijack a tent site with the same last name but based on how resistant they seemed to want to help made it easy for me to never want to stay there again.
We are new to Rv-ing. We want to give a huge Thank you Bailey, Tom, and Thomas. You folks were very helpful. I needed some more blocks to get level. Tom went and brought some over to use. Bailey was going to let us borrow an 30ft extension cord. Turned out we didn’t need it. Thomas helped us to level the 5th wheel. I recommend this place. Very clean all the way around. We stayed in space 62 10-27 / 10-29 2023
