Sparse and open foothills very beautiful in late winter. 

Great views of the foothills

Clean Campground and site. The site we stayed at had a nice fire ring, was flat, had a picnic table and it was close to running water. We tent camped, but it looked like there were plenty of RV spots too. Nice and quiet too. 

Great Views of the Dam

Great stay, very quiet 

This is a great campsite but there are a few things campers must know. Not all sites are drive up. Some have a “thrombosis hill and stairs” to get to. If you book sites B 16, 17 or 18 bring a sherper or pack horse with you to get your tent and stuff to the top of the hill. Male bathroom has a toilet and shower and was clean. Female bathroom has the same but was disgusting! Not what we expected from a Gov. Park. As we were only staying night, we slept in Jabulani #Jabulaniadventures. 

Great Place but know this…

Even with all the rain, the lake isn’t very full. The campground, including the bathroom, was clean. It was difficult to figure out what to do when we reached the campground, because there is no one at the entrance. A ranger came around at some point, who was able to answer our questions. The sites are small, but there are some with great views of the lake.

Clean campground 

…IF you get the right spot. We were there during Easter weekend and it was a bit crowded but not too bad. The sites are too close together and we had a nosy neighbor that seemed to take pleasure in watching our every move til I told her to mind her own business  The rate is reasonable and the grounds are clean and well kept with lantern posts, fire rings and sturdy table. Some even have nice verandas. Rangers on  site are friendly and accommodating and will even deliver fire wood to you.

Great Views of the lake...

This is a decent campsite. Nothing amazing but the lake is nice. The bathrooms aren’t particularly clean so I chose not to shower. The sites are very wide open so you won’t have much privacy.

Quiet spot

We had a shared space, good thing they were really friendly. It was a very well shaded area that we got! It was a beautiful day,
very peaceful too
. My family and I enjoyed our day!

Shared space

Plenty of sites, we arrived after 8 pm and were able to find a spot and book it on Recreation.gov easily.
