Great Camping or Day Trip

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. :)
