We stayed over the Memorial Day weekend. The campground was full when we arrived, which was surprising since we arrived Thursday morning before the weekend. We were lucky that a spot opened up about an hour after we arrived. The spot was large enough for 2 smaller campers and had power both 30 and 50 amp service. There was water available at some of the spots so getting water was a simple walk to fill water jugs for cooking and washing dishes. The bathrooms were very clean and the shower rooms were large with rain shower heads. It was great to clean up the kids after long days of playing at the lake fishing and climbing the mountains behind our camping spot. The bathrooms and shower rooms were cleaned every morning by park employees. The lake was good for fishing and the kids had a great time and it was a very short walk from any of the camping spots.
Our overall impression was amazing for a hidden gem of a campground. It was very clean, well kept and a great experience for our family to enjoy the outdoors with a modern touch.
One thing that would make for a much less stressful experience would be the ability to reserve camp spots. It was stressful after a long drive to not know if we would have a spot for the weekend. We will be adding this campground to our yearly family camping trips.
Has power now.. community showers and flushable toilets! They even added a sevuce to pay for wifi! Great when you have to work on vacation!
Wonderful place to camp! Beautiful lake to fish in. Who could ask for more? 😁
Beautiful group camping area, very close to water and hiking. Plenty to explore here if you don't want to fish with the family. Short distance aways is a Meadows area and lots of farm open farm land. The dirt road to the North takes you all the way through the narrow mountain roads and to the 93 highway. Long drive, but worth the scenery.
