Beautiful mountains

This place is beautiful with a lovely hiking trail and two lakes to boat or swim or fish.  The campground is clean and there are lots of trees for shade.  Fairly inexpensive and there is a dump site in the campground for a fee.

SiteI’ve stayed at a few different ones they are all great!

Small but great

This campground has a tent only loop (walk up to sites) and double spots for trailers. The double spot was nice as we had 3 cars and a trailer. We had plenty of room for our group. Clean bathrooms and nice showers. The lake is good for kayaking and fishing. . .not sure about swimming as it was a little low at the end of the season.

Lake in a Valley

Amazing place to go camp. Good distance between campsites. The lake is a short walk away from parking.

Total hidden gem

If you are lucky enough to get a spot at this campsite, you won't regret it. 10 sites in a gorgeous redwood forest alongside a small creek. There are hiking trails and a swimming hole. Fills up fast on weekends during the summer, often with large parties of people. But midweek or slightly off season it's very peaceful. Near to wineries and small towns if in need of amenities. Bring firewood.
