ScoutI've camped here on and off at the paid campgrounds and the free ones throughout my life. VERY beautiful scenery. There are bathrooms with showers. Water spickets everywhere and I think there are also dumping stations for people with RVs.
TravelerStaff at the visitor center/store were friendly. Sugarloaf had lots of sites to choose from. We had many neighbors (mostly RVs) but enough space between sites. Can’t blame the campsite for the guy who brought a tv & played it out loud lol. It was quiet by 10pm.
The weather was nice mid-April. Good amount of shade. Flat ground for tent. Picnic table, fire pit, bear box, nearby bathrooms & dumpsters.
The flying bugs / mosquitoes were out so come prepared. Only left with 1-2 bites = victory! We walked the “Nature Trail” through the campground & when we tried to sit they would swarm. But it was a nice short easy walk, where we saw a rabbit, turkeys, lizards, deer, & quails! Seems they have lots of hikes available. Had a great time!
GuideCame back a year later on a whim and still found it to be a nice place, in spite of the heat. Had a nice spot that was semi-shaded in the afternoon, next to a lovely couple who I was able to share some beers with.
The place was at capacity, but many people leave during the day. In the evening it did get a little loud at times, but nothing obnoxious.
Decent cell coverage - enough that I was able to stream college football.
The upper campgrounds were closed. Not sure how long this has been the case, but it made for a nice quite walk.
Restrooms remain very useable, in spite of the volume of use.
ScoutThere was only one other person here when I was. They got the prime spot, early bird and all. Very nice view. You have to drive up to right as you enter and then turn toward the lake to find the really nice spots. You can't see them from the main area. May need a higher clearance vehicle for that depending on the site. Recommend walking it first.
ScoutSite was perfect. Close to the water am very accessible for an RV.
ScoutAurora has two sites that are across the road from each other. One is on the water with back up sites. It’s very nice, certainly beautiful and worth the extra 10 dollars. A picnic bench behind the RVs and looking out to the water. Large group cooking and gathering areas. The other side is a standard RV park. It’s a medium size park. There are no walking trails, but the walk along the road way is very beautiful. Although it is along town building, the water side is a low water estuary or sorts - lots of tall grasses and duckweed type plants. Many birds. I even saw an egret. The RV park has a few boats to rent. Fishing allowed but may require a permit (did not research this). To get to clear lake from the west the road is very windy and only allows 34 feet and I think that is pushing it. For me, this is the perfect place to just stop and breath.
ScoutNot a easy campground to get to had a RV road is horrible no nearby water
TravelerGreat time spending the weekend in this beautiful park. Got there Saturday after some beach time. Definitely a packed place, but everyone there was respectful and noise levels may have been the quietest I've experienced. Cleared out Sunday and we nearly had it to ourselves. Camp hosts were super nice. Definitely going to be a regular spot! Oh, we even got to switch spots after it cleared. 83 was nice, but 68 was perfect for the van.
GuideWe spent a long weekend here at the end of February. Weather was as to be expected for near the coast, but sheltered enough from the wind. Sites were large, water fill stations and bathrooms (with showers) were easily accessible, though one was out of order for construction. This is a great place for family, kids rode bikes all weekend. Nobody was too loud or partying late. Short drives to the beach and town for candy and ice cream. Will definitely be back.
