Campsite: Basalt Campground — San Luis Reservoir State Recreation Area

LOVED IT! Came here in Mid January 2020. BEAUTIFUL, PEACEFUL, and ALL TO OURSELVES! HA HA!

It was a Scary ride from Tracy, (super foggy!) and it was a bit tricky crossing Pacheco Pass to get into the Basalt Entrance....but once we did, it was super easy.

Half of the campground is closed for piping repair (that's what we were told by the Kiosk person) so the 1st half of the Campgrounds were just beautiful and well maintained.

We also saw some Tulle Elk in the hills too! Beautiful Sight!

My pictures here do NOT do it justice. In the Fog, there's a really cool "Mystery" about the grounds. But once it cleared up, you can see the vast hills and beautiful, fragrant trees surrounding you. There was one Camp Host Trailer who was making his rounds and welcomed us.

NOTE: He mentioned that you are NOT supposed to park on the asphalt/driveway. So keep that in mind that you need to back up your trailer or Camper far back enough to park your vehicle in front of it or to the side, as long as you're not touching the driveway asphalt.

Other than that....SUPER PEACEFUL! This is why we LOVE camping in 'off season" . no screaming brats and party goers to bother anyone! :)

The reason for only 4 stars? Well, we went to the boat launch ramp. Now, I KNOW there is no more of the Algae that bloomed last summer. But there WAS residue. No we don't have a boat, but I didn't feel comfortable fishing and eating anything that might have this stuff in their system. I know, I know...just WASH THEM WELL, Still didn't sit right with me.

But we're coming back VERY soon! See my pictures, all taken around campsite #24
