We had a good time while we were there. We got to walk on several trails, that were brushed out. So it was good hiking.The actual camping was fun.The issue for me was navigating the pay site/website. I ended up having to pay twice for one stay. I messed up and space 17 two days earlier than when would've been there. For the life of me, I could not figure out how to cancel the order. So I had to make another reservation and pay again. That part is disappointing.

Fall is quiet at the campground and we enjoyed peaceful surroundings. Make sure you check if the bathrooms near you are open, before you pick your site.

Booked 3 days as a short stopover on our way from Vancouver to Mexico. We enjoyed the quiet and the gorgeous lake view, so we ended up staying 11 days. Beautiful place and the park rangers were super friendly and helpful. Wed absolutely stay again. PS, the town of Sonora was really cute and had a great vibe. We had probably the best burger weve ever had, at Sonora Brewing by the candy shop.

Clean quiet camp site with good views on the lake.

Nice spot to camp in the off season with many sites to choose from.

unless you want to smell the porta-potty/bathroom during your stay then I wouldnt book this site. Bathrooms may need to be cleared out. Unpleasant smell during our weekend.
@juancarlE7EC50 · Camped on Aug 31, 2024 at Campsite #18
Excellent place to camp, clean and very safe bathrooms and the water is great.
@serenad1CA8E7C · Camped on Aug 2, 2024 at Campsite #63
Lots of wildlife, there were spiders and tarantulas but we only visibly came across them the first night as we arrived at sundown to unpack tents etc. the water was a hike to get to and there were lots of little leech -like insects if you waded in muddy part of water (kids), so check skin after, they came right off but was not fun. We had a large party w 3 campsites and the favorite was the ADA site as it was leveled, graveled and did not have as many ants or spiders.

Fully natural campsite with a magnificant lake you may swim in. We loved the place sooo much!
@StefaniL02325B · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #97
The description of the campsite I chose was completely inaccurate. Port-a-potties were available instead of bathrooms. I just left and did not even stay in the site I booked because it was so awful.
@RaymondM875254 · Camped on Jun 7, 2024 at Campsite #12
A lot of deer and wild turkeys near our site. Clean, mostly flat pad. Site 12 is just too close to the main road. Tons of traffic early in the morning as boater come in. Also, not as much safe as needed. It gets very hot in the afternoon. Ranger was by multiple times a day. Bathroom was clean. Showers worked fine. A group of campers in our area were very loud after 10pm(quiet hours). Acorn sites are no where near swimming. Overall, I had a good time but would prefer a different site in the future.

Its the prime spot to be at. The ground is mostly level with lever blocks. Great view of the lake. Only thing is beware if you have dogs foxtails everywhere this year more then any other year that I can remember there.
@JUANAA88E8F963 · Camped on May 25, 2024 at Campsite #63
It was a fun experience. The facilities were clean and easy to get to.

Me encant este lugar, el acceso al agua para nadar es muy riesgoso en esa rea, para pesca est bien pero para nadar no, pero cerca est un rea ms accesible solo hay q caminar un poquito y todo bien, nos toc ver venados muy d cerca, los baos estn limpios, las regaderas no estaban disponibles, nos toc buen lugar
@BobM2535414 · Camped on May 19, 2024 at Campsite #117
Campsite was clean, but had tall weeds. Bathrooms were closed - Porta potty was supplied, but bathrooms are better. Previous camper did not clear out until after 2pm
@BeckyW5017392 · Camped on May 4, 2024 at Campsite #85
We partied so hard!! Good job the place was empty.
@ScottH7806643 · Camped on Apr 27, 2024 at Campsite #104
Fair. Condition, cleanliness, activities, etc - fair. Trails need some work, not that clean but fine, disc golf course was unusable, lady ranger was a bit unpleasant, wanting me to park on the road on the peninsula, instead of the pullout...she could use some guidance and/or personalization skills, but everything was fair/fine, just needs some attention. Same goes for pricing. If it's not going to be ready, prices should reflect.
@MichelleK34912 · Camped on Apr 22, 2024 at Campsite #114
If you have a trailer parked at this site it has a steep drop when your getting in and out of your trailer be careful. Perfect lake view. The water was almost up to the picnic bench last time we went there. It is a bit of steep lil trail to get to your fire pit and picnic bench. There are foxtails everywhere just be aware with your doggies
@SerenaW3BFFB5F · Camped on Apr 20, 2024 at Campsite #12
The bathroom and hiking trail were close by; great stay but only one night
@LesterB8715802 · Camped on Apr 11, 2024 at Campsite #18
Bathrooms were locked, porta potties in used.
@DarylD383C4F16 · Camped on Mar 12, 2024 at Campsite #66
Beautiful!
@NataliaH139639 · Camped on Mar 5, 2024 at Campsite #116
Awesome flower blooms nearby, great campsite, pretty views and access to the water. I appreciate how clean the campgrounds and trails were. The rangers were also super friendly and informative.
@Stefankav75776 · Camped on Feb 16, 2024 at Campsite #116
Went there twice during winter months. The place is quite beautiful and quiet with very few campers. We'll try summer next time. There is a great almost-level hiking loop of 6+ miles that we love to hike. The hot water showers are a big plus. Overall well maintained and clean.
@DerickW1571B1D · Camped on Feb 16, 2024 at Campsite #29

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!!!
