Many visitors appreciated the solid amenities like RV hookups, docks, and fishing facilities. Some feedback indicated crowding issues with closely spaced sites. Great for families and convenient to Troy.

Good fishing; wooded sites are best, but expect wind and noise.

Popular park with families, so it's a bit loud until around midnight.  The tenting areas near the lake (and the RV area) are exposed to a lot of wind.  There are about 4 sites (near the trailhead) that are back in the trees and significantly less windy.  No skeeters when we were there (early June), but I suspect they're there once summer heats up.   Short trail around the lake is nice for waterfowl viewing, and if you're a fisherman I saw some nice strings of trout being carried. Seems to get some slob campers -- had to clean out a campfire ring near our site because it was full of scorched cans.   Site 15 had a nice area to hang our hammocks for sleeping, and even though it was right near the trailhead, the hikers were quiet and polite.   If you're just looking for a camping site near Moscow, it's acceptable.

Easy access campsite, great for families

A very easy access campsite. Close to the town of Troy and simple setup. You can camp up by the reservoir parking lot, or further in, closer to the wooded area. There are bathrooms interspersed and great for fishing. Not many amenities, but a great, simple place.

Lots of amenities

This reservoir camping area has many amenities which make it nice. Great docks on the water, swimming, fishing, bathrooms, trash cans, and even a fish cleaning station. I like how the RV sites have water and electricity unlike most campgrounds in the area. This campground is located conveniently near Troy, and is about a 25 minute drive to Moscow. There is also a large Pavilion which is perfect for a large get together.

Nice depending on when you go

This can be a nice place depending on how busily you catch it. The water is clean and nice through most of the summer, but towards mid-August the trash can pile up a bit. The hike is nice and there are good ammenities (trash collection, picnic table, shelters). Decent bird watching here. I always see a Great Blue Heron and often eagles as well!

Windy and crowded (but there’s fishing!)

Not particularly fond of this overrun spot. Great for families with littles. Sites are on top of each other apart from a few scattered around the res. Wind kicks up so high it’s hard to make a campfire last
