We had a great weekend at Acorn Campground and look forward to returning. We did not use the restrooms, but others that were camping with us did, and the report was less than great, but that can be improved upon.

@ErikaS2844980 · Camped on Nov 7, 2024 at Campsite #51

Quiet, not too close to neighbors at most sites

@NathanS1860059 · Camped on Nov 3, 2024 at Campsite #35

Great campground. My particular spot was a little noisy but thats because it was on the outside road side of the campground. Not much that can be done about that.

@ThomasC6214588 · Camped on Oct 27, 2024 at Campsite #35

Clean campsites and helpfull and friendly park rangers and volunteer caretakers.

@GregE9558001 · Camped on Oct 25, 2024 at Campsite #21

I love this place

@NerinaA79BE2D2 · Camped on Oct 18, 2024 at Campsite #56

We had a wonderful family time, and the weather was perfect! The family hiked down by the water and around the campground.

@ThomasC6214588 · Camped on Oct 14, 2024 at Campsite #14

It was clean but the restroom in the loop i was in the men's shower was broken and the toilet was dirty so I just drove to a different rrestroom but in all it was a good experience

@TiffanyG7177CD · Camped on Oct 9, 2024 at Campsite #42

Ranger told us we had to leave, even though we had paid for the reservation and campground was basically empty, then charged us $30 of $40 for cancellation fee. Still has not responded to our request for refund. No light in any women's shower, one of the doors won't stay open and no handle on inside if doir, I was very nearly trapped in there. I would not go back if I had other options, and don't think that ranger has the people skills necessary to do that job

Sometimes it is wonderful to camp at Acorn Campground. More often there are too many rude, inconsiderate people either playing loud music all night, loudly talking until midnight, or more often: driving in and out at all hours of the night. I know this is random and unpredictable, but last time someone drove up to the bathroom at 1 or 2 am, and left their car running for 20 or more minutes, perhaps 15 feet away from where I was trying to sleep. Another time someone kept leaving their campground every one or two hours ALL NIGHT-- again with their car idling. I really enjoy camping at Acorn and we usually go once a week all season- but too often, especially in Fall, it is crazy all night and extremely disruptive. Is this maybe a place where homeless come in at night to use the facilities? Or are people just inconceivably rude nowadays.

Nice back-in site off the beaten path away from jet skiers, etc. Full morning sun with decent shade later on. Site 99 next door seems very nice too, both with close access to the shoreline for wading or fishing. Leave the boating, etc.for the west side loop area.

@Stephanie92932 · Camped on Sep 27, 2024 at Campsite #11

Beautiful lake. Limited amount of shade. Make sure to bring your own toilet paper and a good flashlight because the bathroom lights were minimal.

@SoeunE680B5ED9 · Camped on Sep 27, 2024 at Campsite #64

I love camping here. Its not a far drive when I want to escape from the city.

@ManuelZ4836B80 · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #49

It was awesome. The only problem was that there was no toilet seat in the mens bathroom.

@JackR1195896 · Camped on Sep 17, 2024 at Campsite #10

From Sunday night to Thursday night it was quiet. But Friday and Saturday nights are nothing but a party all night long, with no authority around. Worst campground I've been to, with a year into my travels. It made walmart look good!

@RobertD9538610 · Camped on Sep 16, 2024 at Campsite #92

We really enjoyed our stay at Acorn Campground. Only small complaints I have is the bathroom nearest our site #92, the toilet paper was never filled and one of the urinals was backed up and out of service and stank the bathroom up badly. Erosion off the edges of most of the sites pavement needs attention, very steep and high drop offs, ankle twisters. We understand the campground has some age to it, but we thank you for the low cost to camp here and the senior discount available with the senior pass.The campground was very clean and quiet, wildlife everywhere, deer, quail, vultures, toads, egrets etc.We will be back!

@DARLARBCA2D1AD · Camped on Aug 28, 2024 at Campsite #92

Great shaded spot, close to the water. Lots of open area for flying my kite. Fun neighbors. Will be back! ~Darla

@BobbyS1875655 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #80

Made great memories with my family, bathrooms very clean and the scenery was amazing. Best camp ground to visit every time for my kids.

@JosueND6C5638B · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #91

Great Lake. Camping spots were hard to pick out since most of the pictures they used were from a while ago and dont really show how slanted the spots are for the tents. Rangers do their usual rounds often but stop after 12am. Take extra Toilet Paper. It is very dusty and rocky. The lake itself was very refreshing. All the jet skis and boats scare off the fish so fishing was a fail. Take ear plugs because some other people are very loud during quiet hours. Take some games and A projector. Overall would visit again. Had campsites 91 & 92

@LauraB4922005 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #29

There is zero assistance with camper control.

@BrendaKBA35628 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #47

Everyone's nice and friendly. Only issue the gate needs to open before 8 am.

@JackieS8472004 · Camped on Aug 7, 2024 at Campsite #15

Nice Paved Parking. Picnic Table. Fire/BBQ Pit.Clean Site.

@TiffanyG7177CD · Camped on Aug 2, 2024 at Campsite #57

Beautiful lake side campsites, warm showers, bathrooms near

@JimG4565855 · Camped on Jul 31, 2024 at Campsite #93

The campsite was quiet during the week now , the water is nice and refreshing, the only issues are people dont pick up trash and its trash all over. Disappointed with that, bathroom was also gross but could have been worse . It wasnt crowded mid week which was nice!

@JulianRo48F075 · Camped on Jul 25, 2024 at Campsite #131

Great place to wake surf Campground needs upgrades

@JasmineRB8F2D9 · Camped on Jul 13, 2024 at Campsite #89

Our campsite was nice, with a few trees and backed up to a grassy area between the campsite and the lake. The shower closest to us was not functioning. As a result, people took "showers" at the faucet uphill and the runoff pooled by our picnic table. The lake is mucky, lots of slimy moss on the rocks in the water. The only other drawback is there are lots of sharp shale rocks that hurt our dogs' feet. We will buy shoes for our dogs next time.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
