Water level at the lake is not that low for this time of the year which still good if you like water sports like fishing, swimming and boating like myself

@DanielB4603573 · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #54

Site No. 054 good place with everything you need (electricity, water, sewage) and a beautiful view

@MaxC8330004 · Camped on Aug 10, 2024 at Campsite #37

Sometimes the grass is greener on the other side. Literally. Only part of the campground is watered, leaving the other campsites to be covered in dead grass and stickers. Not ideal. There is no official swimming area. Just an unpaved road down to a point where you can wade in. Camp host was unsympathetic and terse after I mentioned neighbors that were loud past midnight. On the bright side, campsites had water spigots and the bathrooms were in decent condition.

@HubelP3E8CF2D6 · Camped on Aug 10, 2024 at Campsite #76

I spent 2 nights and 2 days at Camp Tule, Lake Success, camping with my sons ages 6 and 8. We had an amazing time. Overall, the staff, people at the gate and park rangers were very friendly and always around for a friendly conversation. We had camp site 76, right on the corner or the campgrounds nearest the Lake. Each camp site has shade but varies depending on the time of day. The first night we stayed the temp was 110 and stayed pretty warm all day and into the evening. the next day was a bit cooler at 95. The camp sites are walking distance from the lake, but a bit further to the shore were you can safely enter the water. The water was incredibly warm but had pockets of cool water, overall nice lake to spend some time in. Great views, amazing sunsets. When we were not at the campsite were were at the lake, walking the lake, or playing around the campsite. There are also two playgrounds that were a cool activity for the boys to do while I made meals. Showers and Bathrooms were OK, what you would expect. The views overall are amazing at this location. At night you can see SO MANY stars. We will be back for sure. Thank you for such a great location!

@JeffreyM593003 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #27

Beautiful sunsets.

@CharlesM934555 · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #99

Please water the grass.

@BrandonS44A6DB · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #76

It was a fun family camping trip ! We were happy with our spots and the over all cleanliness of the facilities

@PeteO951B9E57D · Camped on Jun 29, 2024 at Campsite #53

I stopped by the office and got information on the process to get a spot. I was able to make a reservation in the office due to not having any cell service. The space I rented had a great view of the lake and the sunset. Customer service was great.

@KevinH9468586 · Camped on Jun 12, 2024 at Campsite #41

Nice Campground, with access to the lake nearby. But almost no shade on the premises.

@ClareK6419619 · Camped on Jun 10, 2024 at Campsite #32

The campground and our site met all our needs. Temperatures were 100+ during our stay and the showers were great. The only negative experience came from what was seemingly a group of people living out of their car. Piles of clothing and equipment piled on the picnic table, clothing, towels, etc hanging on the car. Car left for a day and left all belongings behind. Returned the next day. Very odd, in our opinion.

@GeorgiaJF1EF85 · Camped on Jun 8, 2024 at Campsite #92

Extremely polite and helpful. Smooth check- in. Great bang for your buck with showers and dump included in price. Senior pass is worth it!

@MichelleH23163 · Camped on Jun 8, 2024 at Campsite #13

There 14 day policy is really inconvenient

@TabithaB6FBAA2 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #100

The sites were very close together with a lot of loud guests during my stay. Not much shade at each site but it was nice having a water spigot on site and the lake was really big.

@BradG7D34694AE · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #89

Its a nice spot, will always come back here. Sure its busy on holiday weekends, but the local sheriff deputies and Fish and Game Warden are very friendly abs expect you to know and follow the rules of the lake and the law. Fishing can be challenging here with the tournaments and local pressure but usually catch a few. Camp ground is nice and spots are all fairly level with water accessible to most sites. Dump station on a Sunday can be hours if youre leaving right at checkout. Double/triple check the times the close the gate to the campground, long dinner in town got me stuck outside the gate for the night, not terrible just a little walk to your camp spot.

@RichardM509620 · Camped on May 22, 2024 at Campsite #95

The grass was really died and sticker all over. They ended up in our trailer making it difficult to walk in our trailer. Water was turned off for most of the day. The lake was full which made it nice

@WilliamS791593 · Camped on May 22, 2024 at Campsite #32

The facility was clean and well maintained. Sites are not level (but not steeply sloped). There's not much privacy between sites. If you're into boating this is a great campground.

@TinaS5EFEA16F9 · Camped on May 12, 2024 at Campsite #76

We camped at Success Lake in Springville, CA site 76 right next to the water with a beautiful view. We had to clean up all the trash, cigarette butts, broken liquor bottles and liquor caps everywhere. Folks had used the perforated table for cooking on, what a mess. Could not set or do anything with that greasy mess. 3 Large trash cans parked right in the middle of the view of the lake. If you were sitting at the table in the camper you could use the wall in the corner of windows to block the cans and get a beautiful view! LOL

@WilliamP724185 · Camped on May 10, 2024 at Campsite #56

We go here avidly with our motor home and boat and totally enjoy our time. This is the place we love to take our grand kids as well.

@Maximilia7B5E0 · Camped on May 7, 2024 at Campsite #41

Simple Camground south of Seqouia NP. Well-maintained restrooms and warm showers. Big campsites, kinda far from each other.

@MartinC35A91CC · Camped on May 6, 2024 at Campsite #36

I Love this Camp grounds. Great price only$20 dollars a day. 8 people 2 cars. Hot showers for free. Really hot. The best showers we have used out of many campsites we've been to. They do not allow any type of tree tents. We got shut down. That's OK though. The lake is just a short walk away. Restrooms are clean. No electrical outlets wich is fine by me. Different sites have arbors some don't. Fire pits in every site. Great Camping for a 1st time family. All around I give it a 8 out if 10.

@KimAnnC06E4630 · Camped on May 4, 2024 at Campsite #6

Bathrooms & showers almost all out of order. The one shower that worked was filthy w bugs/dirt and had only cold water. Witnessed bathroom cleaning lady pull up & open each door without going in-despite the visible bugs and trash on floor of the same doors i had JUST opened! She then picked up 2 pieces of paper on lawn & got in her car & went to next bathroom where I timed her at 3 min. Nice pay gig. She drove maroon PT cruiser & she needs to be fired. The ck in staff gave no direction or map to which campground and did not come into the drizzling rain to give our pass but came out 5 min later to stand there in the rain and smoke. I have raved about the COE parks we have camped at through the years. There have been many and in various different states. They were all meticulous and everything in perfect working order. My gosh, Tule Campground at Success Lake is an embarrassment and should be avoided by anyone but locals to launch their boats on what is a beautiful lake.

@NancyB3949689 · Camped on May 3, 2024 at Campsite #94

This park is very very busy with day visitors and close to the hwy. We had an incident one night with a person who walked off the hwy into the camp and chose to sleep in the back of our truck. He said he was tired and hungry. When confronted he walked away from us further into the park. Police called and responded quickly. Person was found and taken from park. Everyone was scared and one camper stayed up all night watching the gates. No other incidents occurred. We had a pull through with water and electricity and dump at exit of park.

@RogerB3749935 · Camped on Apr 22, 2024 at Campsite #66

First time camping here Monday through Thursday had a great time peaceful and relaxing, Janice in the office was outstanding and very hopeful, I'm looking forward to another trip in July, see you soon

@RobertE4617436 · Camped on Apr 12, 2024 at Campsite #17

We had a great time ! The weather was comfortable. The camp hosts were great and gave us a heads up when there was a problem with the dump station. One word of advice would be to bring an extra water hose as the water bibs in Tule North sites can be quite a ways from your site. Nice affordable place to camp !

@JamesR5751753 · Camped on Apr 6, 2024 at Campsite #56

This is a very nice campground and I will return. I gave 4 stars and not five because on arrival my site was very dirty the fire pit had trash in it, cans, a 1/2 full jug of milk and so on. The campsite overall was littered with the left overs of Easter. The wonderfull host did come over with a blower and cleaned off most of the litter, I cleaned the fire pit.The dump station was out of service and I had to go elswhere and pay $20.00 to the outfit up the road but that said it was some miscreant that tossed there cloths down the pipe at the dump and plugged things up.Did I say the host was graet as well as the rangers.Good job

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@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!!!
