From La Porte, CA, take Main St. (LaPorte-Quincy Hwy.) north 8.8 miles to campground on right.
It's a peaceful place to go and relax with a good picnic. Good boat launch as well.
Nice quiet spot to spend some quality time on the water. Easy and neat boat launch area with close in parking.
We stumbled across this place after discoveing sly creek campground was closed. This reservoir is great! We enjoyed watching an eagle swoop up a trout right out of the water. Camp sites are large, clean vault toilet, running water. Boat ramp is near the camp sites. Parking is not next to campsites so bring a wagon to carry your stuff.
The location is very beautiful but there are only 10 spots and they fill up very quickly for the weekend. I enjoyed camping here but it's not great for families. The downsides to this location are the vault toliets which are cleaned regularly but still manage to be pretty disgusting, the steep slope the whole campground sits on, how dusty the entire place is, and that the beach is very rocky.
Great place for the whole family. The scenery is amazing, it is nice and quiet. No cellphone reception and no electricity which was fine with us. There are only a very few outhouses around but it is manageable for a few days. Once it gets dark, it is pitch black, so make sure to have some kind of light handy. At night, same curious bears might say hi, but they just passing through and leave you alone. Just make sure not to have open food in the tent. We had a perfect short family getaway adventure.
