Close to home, but noisy and buggy

Campsite 148 We liked staying here because it's close to home and it is also close to gas stations and grocery stores. Our campsite had standing water right behind it so there were many, many mosquitoes! The traffic from the freeway was very loud and in the morning the trains would honk their horns waking everyone up. We will probably not stay again and just do day trips to the lake.

Good enough

Got in around 945, nobody at the gate. Was and to have a choice of several spots for my campervan. Nothing with a killer view of the water, but I did have a nice view in the morning of the mountains. It was fine.

Very busy but well maintained campground

Follow the signs to the "new entrance" -- but it's well marked and well staffed.  The campgrounds are well marked, but we found that our site was actually accessible going the opposite direction from the signage. So we went around the loop but this would have put the utilities on the passenger side, not the driver side.  So we went back through the loop the opposite way (be careful of opposing traffic and there's limited space to maneuver, but this is the only way to properly access certain sites).  

The picnic table had a gazebo over it, but it was occupied by wasps.  We weren't planning to use it anyway as this was only a stopover for us, but this is something to be aware of.  50amp service worked great which was important for both air conditioners to work on this 102 degree day!  

Overall the camp ground was super quiet.  Keep in mind that there are no in/out privileges after 10pm.  If you leave, you may not be able to get back in and this is documented on the checkin documentation.  There is plenty of good grocery shopping for supplies located to the north and south (I went north).  Beautiful campground but the sun and heat are a little relentless so be prepared with good AC, shade/awnings and other cooling methods.

Quiet, convenient camping

I arrived at around 6:30 PM with no reservation and had no issues. The guy at the front gate was a peach, super kind and helpful. It’s $25 a night for a tent site. He set me up in site 106 which is about 50 feet away from the (very clean) bathrooms/showers and 100 feet from the lake. The crickets SCREAM at night and there’s some noise from the interstate. There’s also a gas station right outside the park entrance. Plenty of other people camping here but everyone is quiet and respectful. I have 4 bars of 5G with ATT. They also spray for mosquitoes so bugs aren’t really an issue.

The best experience overall!

This is probably one of my new favorite campgrounds! We had spot 119 and had a perfect view of the beautiful mountains behind us and the lake in front. We had beach access down to the beach and got to watch the sunset completely private. They had numerous bathrooms, water fill up stations, and the campsites are very big. They also have really nice metal picnic tables and deep fire pits with a grill rack on it. Get there at 3pm for first come first serve campsites.

Pricy and awkward

We we staying in a tent site. All of the potable water was still shut off. When we were booking the site all of them were taken but when we arrived there were only 3 campers. Lots of bugs. We changed our site to a full hookup site in the south marina which is even more awkward. It is a parking lot with hook ups. No privacy. We stayed one night and then opted to stay at a near by KOA and just ate the cost of the state campground. Would not stay here again.
