Big campground next to a small reservoir

Good place for fishing and boating. Campground really close to the water. Lots of playground equipment. Good for tenors and an RVs with no hook ups. Lots of space and good cell coverage. Bathrooms are flush with showers and OK.

Pleasant Stay

A friend and I camped here overnight while on a 4-day motorcycle tour of the Sothern Sierra, the location was convenient. We found sitting and watching the sunset over the lake perfect site#30 after a long day ride. However, when we went to bed our neighbors were partying which is fine, but I was laying awake till 12:30 am when I asked them to please keep the noise down which they did, in the morning 6:30 am I was eating breakfast and greeted them with a good morning and a wave the response that I got was a middle finger and a loud“F” you, This kind of behaver is disgusting in a family environment!

The date was Saturday night 9/16 and their site was#29
