My group of 3 had a 2 night stay here, but left after 1 night. The vault toilets were overflowing and had not been cleaned, so we smelled all the foul odor every few minutes wafting up to our camp site. We were also directly in front of a group of guys (around 10-12) who did not adhere to quiet hours and were yelling, laughing, shouting and making loud noises well past 1AM around a blazing firepit. There was a group next to us who asked them to quiet down, but they merely laughed it off. It was very disrespectful and we were unable to sleep the whole night. Being a group of only women of color, we were fearful of approaching these guys because they seemed very rude and aggressive. Usually, the campsite host will make rounds to tell groups to be quiet, but they were nowhere to be found.Lastly, we tried that night we stayed over and the next morning to find the camp host with these issues. We were hoping to at least switch campsites to avoid these two issues. But, they were nowhere to be found and we walked around the entire campsite loop to look for them. Due to this disappointment experience, we decided to pack up and forfeit our camp site for the second night.

@JacquelinF15C5 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #10

I really enjoyed my stay. There were a lot of trees in our spot so getting a great star view didnt exactly happen but its ok. Theres a dusty trail that leads to the lake. Spot ten is directly in front of the bathrooms, which were clean. If we had neighbors, youd probably only be able to see the ones to your left. Host was friendly.

@JoshF8468981 · Camped on Jul 31, 2024 at Campsite #7

Camp Hosts, are absolutely amazing!!!! Lake was OK warm for the kids. Campsites were nice and spacious, the lower ones probably dont hear the logging trucks early in the morning. Toilets were clean campsites were clean. Camp Hosts are some of the most friendly, hope to run into them again, either at stumpy Meadows, or a different campground around!!!

@IvanYFEF45142D · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #24

Nice place

@JoeT2784284 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #24

Camp hosts were super helpful. Clean bathrooms, well organized campground, water in reservoir was nice. Weather was brutally hot but the whole state was that way so I cant say much about that

@Katherine50153 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #29

One of my favorite campgrounds!! Me and my best friend (plus a dog) stayed at campsite 29. I would say for a 6 person site it was on the smaller side and don't actually know if more than two tents would fit at the site. We did car camping so it was fine for us but if we did do tents it would have been really cramped. The site was really shady and from the looks of it majority of the sites were on a slope. It was more dirt/dusty versus wood/bark on the floor. I liked site 29 because it was spaced out from the other sites but it was a bit further from the bathroom and trash. The water was so nice, water was clear and perfect temperature. The bathrooms were very clean and host was very friendly.

@DawnS6921813 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #21

We were at site 21 in June 2024. Plenty of room for multiple tents. A lot of sun during the afternoon though. You can walk down to the lake via a trail, but we just drove and spent the day there. It was easier than lugging everything down the trail. ..No cell service at all. You have to drive about 20 minutes before you get service so we would just go into town if we needed to call anybody. It was nice to disconnect. Camp hosts are super nice and kept things nice and clean. Sites are close together, but with enough space that you're not on top of the other people. .Lots of shade around and it was really hot when we were there, but the shade helped a ton.

@AlishaM5DD2915 · Camped on Jun 7, 2024 at Campsite #36

Site was shady most of the day. Bathrooms close and clean. Slight road noise. Great camp host. Mostly flat. Large site. Would book this one again.

@ToriH0E34435CC · Camped on Aug 20, 2023 at Campsite #28

Great little wooded camp ground with easy enough access to a nice lake. Very clean. Wooded. Peaceful. Great camp hosts.

@JustinL8853092 · Camped on Jul 21, 2023 at Campsite #24

Decent and nicely shaded campground. Though the sites closest to the reservoir are bordered by a large trail which means people are walking through your site at all hours.

@KendraMB2406FC · Camped on Jul 15, 2023 at Campsite #25

I cant believe Im saying this but there were LOTS of roaches and extra long white pincher bugs everywhere! We started a campfire and the sun had just gone down and they were all over the campsite. I was so grossed out we contemplated leaving or sleeping in the car.Ive been to this campground several times before but I dont plan on coming back again for MANY years due to the enormous bug population there. I expected lots of mosquitoes but roaches and long white pincher bugs that kept flicking towards our fire pit and our flashlights was too much for even a country girl to handle.

@DeanM2529362 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #14

Campsites we’re fine. #13 was mostly sloped though. The reason for the FAIR rating was not being made aware that the water was not ready for drinking when we arrived. The email stating the water system was not ready was sent after we arrived at the campground (no cell service at Stumpy). The water was on when we got there, but then turned off the next day. We didn’t bring our own drinking water so we had to head down to Georgetown and buy some. It was a big inconvenience and kind of put a damper on the rest of the weekend.

@RyanP8052228 · Camped on Aug 12, 2022 at Campsite #6

The campground is a little smaller than average but it is very well maintained. Bathrooms and water faucets were very clean. Available dumpsters for trash, although there are no food storage lockers (as long as your smart about your food, you should be just fine). The hosts were very pleasant and were even impressed with our camping arrangement/setup lol. All in all, this place is a gem, not too far from Sacramento, and really beautiful. This campsite in particular will be one that we visit again with its long driveway, flat area, and perfect shade.

@AdrianA3674726 · Camped on Aug 5, 2022 at Campsite #26

It’s a great spot to camp lots of shad and the areas are pretty spacious and the lake was close by!! It was amazing with the family!!

@BarbaraH643159 · Camped on Jul 15, 2022 at Campsite #36

We checked into our sites on a Friday. We purchased 6 camping sites months in advance. Upon arrival one of our sites was taken over by another family. We told the camp host and he blamed his clip board. My family was the last of our group to show up so we manged to share a site with other family members. Still haven't received our refund for the one site we paid for and couldn't use. Restrooms were relatively clean. A body of water is near by but it is a trek and the beach is covered in large rocks. Not meant for day use. There was also debris left from previous campers at our sites. Very dusty, probably won't visit again. We did drive a short distance to a small beach, that saved our trip.

@WENDYC8417072 · Camped on Jun 24, 2022 at Campsite #25

My sister and I went camping. We have been to the Group Camping, but not the Family. We both had a great time, and will be going again next year!

@ShaneB1070128 · Camped on Jun 24, 2022 at Campsite #4

First off I want to start by saying the camp hosts we're absolutely awesome and accommodating they were able to put us in a better spot in the bathrooms were the cleanest bathrooms I have ever seen no smell and super clean it's a small drive to the day use area for $10 it's easy water access and easy to launch your kayaks definitely will be coming back soon and I like the idea of a 10:00 quiet time the camp host is on top of it and it is super quiet at 10:00 definitely will be coming back camping area is super clean and the hostess made it to where we would love to come back

@TaylorA9216779 · Camped on Jun 8, 2022 at Campsite #26

The campground itself was nice. Some of the sites were wide open with plenty of space and others very close to one another with no clear boundaries between sites. The hike down to the reservoir was longer and steeper than we anticipated, but well worth it. The host was not particularly polite or inviting. There were only 4-6 sites filled when we stayed at the campground, the site directly next to us (within 10 meters with no clear separation between sites) was empty and so we used their table to dry our bathing suits/towels after a swim. The host came around and asked if we were going to pay for that second site (not in a joking manor). We will stay again, but only because the campground is close to our study site (academic field trip).

@KathleenC43968 · Camped on Jun 3, 2022 at Campsite #10

Low star is because of camp host and noise level. Otherwise great camping spot, close to the waters, lots of trails, dog & family-friendly. Unfortunately, we picked a spot next to loud campers who partied well after 1130. Camp-host didn't come around to tell them of the after-hour noise level or the allotted vehicle and person per campground. Really they should have gotten a much bigger campground with their 5 tents in one small camp.

@AshleyM6190418 · Camped on Jun 3, 2022 at Campsite #18

This was our 3rd time camping here and we love it! Awesome private sites and quiet campground. We look forward to our next trip here!

@ScottW660 · Camped on Aug 14, 2021 at Campsite #25

Camp hosts were rude and argumentative! Didn't want to allow a grandfather to park temporarily in an unoccupied site to visit his four year old granddaughter, for her birthday. The younger male seemed to be intoxicated. He was swearing in front of the couples children we were camping with! The couple and the camp host got in an argument! He then ask us all to leave! We weren't even there three hours! I wasn't involved in the argument! I had my own camp site. I was still asked to leave! Guilt by association I'm assuming! Requested a refund today on Recreation.gov and was denied! If you are planning on camping at Grumpy Meadows, be prepared for a confrontation!

Unfortunately, we didn't catch that there was no shade in our spot, so, without the trees and the high temps (not something that can be controlled) , it was really hot. Our spot - 33 - was a little tight for our trailer - we had about 5 feet between the door and the side of the hill. The lake was nice, the only inconvienance is that we had to drive to the launch to get our boat to the lake.

@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!!!
