Disappointing

Planned on staying for an overnighter, but not for the price being asked. $60/night.

Good for a must stop now!

Electric and water. Vault toilets. Showers and running water toilets too. Not really a “site” but a circular parking lot. No space between your neighbors.

Too many Mosquitoes in August!!

So much standing water in the area makes the mosquitoes overwhelming. We have a can of Off and it isn’t enough to keep us from being eaten alive!!

Campground is large parking lot where you park in your space and there is grass behind the spot with a picnic table.

Full hookups are nice and everything is working well.

Great location, poor site

Lake and Mountain View were awesome. Wish we camped on north side though. Our site had no shade source, and was infested with bees. Upon arrival knocked a wasp nest off the electrical and our whole site was covered in honeybees feeding on red clovers. Literally hundreds. Would not recommend staying on south side at all

Noisy, but pretty

We stayed one night in early September, it was very hot, and this location has no hookups, so plan to be hot. Nice big sites, lots of wildlife all around. Nice swimming beach, fresh water. Pretty sunsets, and a nice view of mountains to the east. Sites in this campground are large. Lots of room to spread out, play games and have fun. Wild life is abundant here, birds, raccoons, deer. I loved the crickets chirping. Front gate staff was helpful, but agree with other comments, you have to pick a space before you come in.

Bad part was the freeway noise. Even with ear plugs I could not sleep. Worst: trash was everywhere. Showers in bath houses were unusually small and cryptic.

For the price, the lack of access to pick a spot, strictly enforced entry time, the trash and noise, I will look elsewhere for a place to stay.
