As our customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we did (are doing) to correct this situation. We routinely monitor your water for turbidity (cloudiness).

The standard is that no samples may exceed 1 turbidity unit (NTU).

Great! With exceptions

Great state park, awesome and knowledgeable camp hosts, amazing views. One HUGE negative is that there is machinery that runs 24/7 so it is noisy at some of the campsites. When you drive in, keep your ears out as much as your eyes for that perfect spot!

Amazing mid-week getaway

We came for a mid-week getaway to test a new tent. Camp hosts were friendly and we almost had the whole loop to ourself with some great amenities running water in the bathrooms and showers included for only $10. We had views of the lake, but not so close as to hear any of the boats. good tent sites and some shade from juniper trees.
