Beautiful Resevoir

The campground was quiet and clean and host was fantastic! We stayed at campsite C19 and it was perfect with some shade for our tent which was great. Steps away from the reservoir which provided glorious sunrises! Bathrooms were close and clean, running water and flush. We opted to have dinner at the marina cafe and it was convenient and delicious with a great staff! The entrance to the reservoir from our site was a bit murky but if you have a watercraft of sorts then it’s smooth sailing, convenient and water was clear.

Good Water Front Spots

It’s FCFS and gets really busy, so arrive early in the morning. The spots are relatively close together. They got rid of their envelope pay system so now you have to try to find the camp host. We found a spot and started setting up while one person went to find the host, and had 2 cars come by during that time and say the camp host told them they could have our spot. Other than that, decent sites and some of them are pretty close to the water.

Beautiful lake

Strawberry Bay Reservoir is quite the gem. The CG is clean and the sites are spread out nicely so you don't feel crowded. The water is clear and perfect for all water activities. Loop C is within walking distance to the water. There is a marina where you can rent boats (both powered and non powered). The marina even has a small convenience store for stocking up on ice or forgotten necessities. This is my second trip to Strawberry Reservoir and it won't be the last.

Great Campground near the water

Arrived on a Friday (July 2021) afternoon and a thunderstorm was passing through. It was kind of fun or should I say added to the outdoor experience. Camped in Loop C (C09) which has a great view of the reservoir. There are no hookups available...expect in Loop B which all sites in that loop have full hookups. The campground is neat and the bathrooms are kept clean and tidy. The actual campsites are spread out enough where you don't feel like you're squished together like a parking lot. Each site has a fire pit, picnic table(s) and some have a mini shelter. There are easy trails that lead to the water for all sorts of activities. The weather was nice and a lot cooler than in the valley. Even though the campground was pretty full, I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was in the evening. Reservations are required for the summertime which is there high season. Lastly, the camp host was awesome, she would scoot by in her golf cart around the loop and wave high at you and asked if you needed anything. I will definitely return!

Good public campground

Camped here over Memorial Day and surprisingly it wasn’t too crowded. The sites are averagely spaced out. Not squished together like a KOA. There isn’t a lot of shade so bring a canopy or something. Some sites have a shelter over the table but ours did not. The view of the lake is great and it is pretty close to get somewhere where you can go for a swim, fish, or launch a kayak or paddle board. They have a marina if you forget some basic camping gear or need some fishing supplies.

There are ATV/UTV trails in the area. The reservation says no ATV’s or OHV’s in the campground, but you can have them trailered or in the campground if it is street legal. You just have to pay an extra car fee.

Quiet campground on a tranquil lake, $24/site

Arrived late afternoon on a Wednesday in mid September after trying some of the dispersed spots and not finding quite the right fit. Several of the loops were closed for the season, but we found several good sites right on the bluff above the water. Great views, and a little path down to the waters edge (which we made use of right away with the pups, who enjoyed a good romp in and out of the water). Be forewarned, though: the sand is the dark red variety and a wet dog will need a shower to get this off.

Plenty of potable water spouts and restrooms. Most of the campers were in RVs or trailers, but a tent would be fine here. The sites each had two picnic tables, metal fire rings and three sided, roofed shelters in case of rain or wind. They aren’t the largest sites, but there is decent spacing between sites. Some have some tree cover, but most are exposed.

We had a visit from a herd of cows right after sunset on the beach in front of our site. They looked at us curiously for a few minutes before moving on, but we could hear them mooing periodically throughout the evening so I don’t think they went far.

Good one night spot or longer if you have a boat with you for the lake. It was quite warm in the afternoon when we got here, though it cooled off quickly when the sun went down. Comfortable sleeping.

Just like the description/pics. No thrills.

It's a big public campground with big pull throughs and lots of loud families and barking dogs and the rest. The camp hosts get big props for calling a few days before to work out a schedule change while the website stayed crashed for a few days. They had to rearrange a few folks and nicely accommodated our RV plus Trailer. 

It's an average caliber state campground in a state with way above average camping options, so it gets a middle of the pack scoring of 3-Stars.

Nice campground

Clean - staff was friendly. Our site did not provide a view (b13) and the picnic site was behind the camper blocking any water view. Did have full facilities which was nice. If needing a quick stop - id recommend - but I wouldn’t need to go out of my way to go back here.

Our group got there late in the day, and the camp hosts were amazing! They came around to take our nightly fee and made sure we knew where all the facilities were and what time checkout was.
