TravelerProbably the best campground we have EVER been to! Multiple hosts available who are very friendly and helpful, clean utilities, very well maintained campsites. We will certainly come again!
ScoutI stayed on a weekday in May and the camp was very quiet. The sites further in towards the lake are shaded by Douglas fir trees and the sites closer to the entrance are much sunnier. The camp hosts were kind and knowledgeable and patrolled frequently. Definitely recommend a premium site along the lake if you can afford it as they have lake access, great for fishing: And the day use area is huge and took a whole day to explore!
ScoutPros: Great campsite, wonderful hosts, clean water to play in, clean camp style bathrooms, felt safe, great boat ramp (if taking a boat).
Cons: Lots of poison oak which made it challenging for our 1 year old and dog. The water level was low which made it a trek to get to and from the water.
ScoutLove staying here every year! Peaceful and clean. Love the smell of the trees. Private spots and great camo hosts
GuideGreat little campground, $22 when you add in the required reservation fee. Nice little trail. Through camp and trails down to the river. Level sites, pit toilets. Noise from the 2 lane highway but pretty quiet over night
ScoutI love shotgun creek, lots of fun out there beware of the wildlife and other people. There is shooting spots, 4 wheeling trails, etc its a great spot for just about amything
TravelerGreat campground. Quiet pull through sites with fire rings and picnic benches.
ScoutVery clean and peaceful. Sunny spot and shady spots. We have solar so having sunny spots was very helpful.
TravelerBeen to this campground a couple times now and enjoy it. Avoid the spots right near the entrance as the highway sound is pretty loud. Spots 20-40 are near the river and you can either see/hear at most spots. Lots of water fill up stations and there was firewood for sale at $9/bundle. Bathrooms were clean, though if you are staying at a spot like ours (26) you have a bit of a walk to the closet one. It was extremely quiet when we stayed, but it does get busy during the summer from past experiences. There is also a boat launch area with a large rocky beach people lay out on when it's sunny. Overall a great campground!
