Woodward Reservoir

This lake is a great place to camp. They have many camping spots but if you want hook ups and waterfront you have to make reservations on T-Island or Hackleberry Flats. Other wise it is first come first serve for the other areas of the lake. Great boating and swimming. Be aware that usually late September to Mid April, there is no body to water contact. It’s usually packed but go and enjoy!

Well kept and lots of fun

Woodward Reservoir is a great place to camp with or without all the amenities...They have primitive camping for the folks that like roughing it as well as people that like the home away from home experience (electricity, showers & water). Bring your boat, jet ski, canoe, kayak etc...lots to do on the lake as well as swimming. Evenings can get kinda breezy so you might want to have a light jacket on hand. If you are camping bring your own tents etc as well as wood. The campground doesn't supply you with any nor do they sell it there last time I was there. They did have a vendor there last time selling floats hats and other sorts of things but it will cost you. The park is pack during the summer months on the weekends but during the off season if is a great time to go during the week when children are in school. I have tried fishing from the bank with no luck but maybe in the deeper water some may have better luck than I did. Oakdale is about 10 minutes away if you happen to forget anything. There is a grocery store right inside the city limits to pick up last minute things or ice. There are some shaded spots for camping and day use but its first come first serve so get there early and grab your spot and enjoy the fun....Hope this help out anyone who is thinking about visiting Woodward Reservoir. Sorry if I forgot anything.  :)

Great Camping or Day Trip

My visit was Ok! The brush in the non hookup campsites needs to be cared for as it was knee high,  an made it a little bit of a treck to the water. It's a great place for families.

Nice weekend getaway

Reminds me a lot of the Modesto reservoir. I enjoy this location because it has stores nearby. I always need to take extra blankets and fire wood. It tends to get chilly and windy occasionally. Make sure to bring sunblock! Some Roads are dirt so bring goood water shoes or sandals.

Ultimate Camping

We have been there three times, twice for day trips when our kids were camping there and one time where our son's and daughter's family and us were camping there for three days weekend. 
Full hookups were use and enjoyed by all each time. On the T-Island sites you right on the water. Which is were we go. Both our kids family have Kayaks so that makes getting on the water great. Nice bathroom.
