UPDATE - 6/27/2023
To rephrase, this "used" to be a great place to escape & enjoy the reservoir. As of current there is a multi townhouse development currently being excavated. They have ripped out all of the landscape to the west & down the hill behind the camp host site to erect multi-million dollar townhomes. That being said, it is noisy 6 days a week from early morning til dark, extremely dusty, and sickening to see. They are building right up to the property line to destroy every last inch of beautiful terrain that was once home to many species of wildlife, birds, wild flowers & trees.
The sites on the waterside are a little better, they are reservable (the only reservable sites) there are 7. So, if you keep your back to the west you can still enjoy the camp loop. Pack light as stated before it is a somewhat long walk in. Please pack out what you pack in, DO NOT attempt to collect firewood as it is against the law, please use the bathrooms & not the bushes and DO NOT KEEP WAGONS AT YOUR CAMPSITE as there are a limited number & everyone will want to use one.
A great hike in semi primitive campground with fairly close water access. Wagons are provided for hauling your stuff in with a good trail to get there. Note: don't go thru the gulley but take the wagons around the longer way to save yourself the effort as it is fairly steep and hard to pull them up the hill! Bathrooms with flush toilets as well as 2 porta-potties in the lower section. Some shady sites. All the sites have a concrete pad with a picnic table & a fire pit with grill. They ask you pack out what you pack in (trash) there's a dumpster at the trail head. Dogs are to be kept on a leash and fires are discouraged this year but allowed. The camp host can provide you garbage bags if you need which is a nice plus. The tent areas in some sites are fairly small but only 2 tents per site are allowed anyway and a couple sites on top actually have elevated tent pads. Oh, and your supposed to haul your wagon back to the trail head after you unload your gear, the camp host was helpful in hauling them back for you sometimes if she's around. Lots of birds and deer.
