Camping Right on the Lake

A very nice campground right on the shores of Lake Whitney. Overall, the campground wasn't too busy. The campsites are nicely spaced out so each group does have some privacy. The campsite has some nice amenities: campfire ring, picnic table with a shelter, and grill. Allegedly there is a trail called the Hopewell Trail that runs by the campground but I could not find any sign of it. 

The campsite does close everyday at 10 pm. At that time, they close the gate and you cannot get back into the campground until 6 am the next morning.
