Nice option for hot summers
This campground is sprawling with lots of amenities. It's not my favorite lake (I prefer quiet lakes to motor-boat lakes), but it's closer to the I5 Corridor and Portland than many other lake-campgrounds and at a lower elevation when the mountain lakes are still too chilly. There's a town nearby and options to rent boats, so this can be a fun destination for boating fans.
Some of the sites are quite large with a great view of the lake.
In the summer, the water gets low in the reservoir, so it often has a long, muddy, stumpy bank which isn't quit as appealing as other lakes.
