The camp sites and waters edge are littered with trash.  Very expensive to camp and the staff were not friendly.  Won't ever go to camp again . 

never camping here again. 

 Great boating lake. The camp ground is located in a bay off the lake. Lots of open dirt where you camp.  Best camping is in the early summer when the lake is full.
activities include boating, swimming and fishing.

Campground off the 80 heading toward Lake Tahoe from Sacramento. Can't hear the cars on the highway but close enough to stores if you forget something, although there is also a small shop to rent boats or buy sandwiches. Perfect for families (hence, there's a lot of families) for day trips or camping. Beautiful lake but no places to hike. If you want to splash in lake water, that's fine, but this campground is more fun if you have a boat because there are beaches to boat to that you cna take over and enjoy.

Lake front sites, but stacked on top of each other. Plenty of goose crap to dodge and make sure to show up early! Not our favorite, but still doable.

First Come, First Serve 

Beautiful little camp site quiet time is at 10pm but friendly staff!

Great camp sites beautiful lake!

This is a smaller but nice lake. It hasn’t ever been over crowded when I’ve gone. The reason I like this spot is because campsites C3-C10 have the most shade you can hope for! There is a little waterfall and creek running behind the campsites so you get the trickling water sound.

Plenty of shade 

Great place to camp!!! They have a convenience store that is walkable distance to get supplies, food, candy from.

You should reserve a spot right on the lake. If you have a boat you can anchor it right in front. 

Nice places to swim, fish, and jump off docs
