This is a hidden gem with a few flaws. Camphosts we're friendly and sites are level and well cared for, but they're close together with no privacy. Most have a good view of the lake and it was very peaceful. The bathhouse is up a steep hill with a pushbutton shower with cold water. The good outweighs the bad and we'd go back.

Stayed here 10 days. Weekends had full house of people staying at campground. During the week was real quiet. Best water we have had at a campground all year, and that's saying a lot since we do this for aliving. Beautiful view of lake, water fowl were incredible. 3 different species of pelicans,ducks geese,and turkey (they were drinking) . Greatest COE yet! Camp Hosts were great.

(Site 2) Nice area close to the water with an easy trek to the shoreline. Bathroom facilities (upgraded porta-potty) next door - but no showers. This site is away from the others, with a little more privacy, but in exchange there is no shade. Dump station is up the hill and easily accessible.

We had to camp at Stockdale because our original reservation at Turtle Creek was cancelled due to construction. But we had a lovely time at Stockdale in site #1. Hosts came down and told us about showers at the top of the hill. We walked a mile or so down the county dirt road and judged it sound enough to leave by. Lots of wildlife. Then walked along the shoreline the opposite direction at dusk. A little out of the way but we're seniors so it was definitely worth $12 discounted rate.

We love Stockdale Park, it's clean and when the weather is good it is the perfect place to camp.

@TimW5397967 · Camped on Sep 6, 2022 at Campsite #1

The campground was clean and the Park Ranger was very friendly.

@StacyC2929107 · Camped on Jun 19, 2022 at Campsite #7

Great spot at the top of the hill.

@RalphH6296613 · Camped on Jun 18, 2022 at Campsite #8

Nice smaller campground close to the boat ramp. Has a good size cove that is usually out of the wind.

@CaraK5362172 · Camped on May 26, 2022 at Campsite #10

We had never camped at Stockdale before and were very impressed! The camphost was very friendly and contacted the Corps of Engineers when we told them we didn't have a picnic table at our campsite. The Corp broth one early the next day!! The campsite was great and the entire area was awesome! We had a great time!

@AllisonS114048 · Camped on May 13, 2022 at Campsite #12

Pros-small campground, boat ramp was very close, spacious spots, friendly hosts & park rangers. Cons-there wasn’t a courtesy dock at the boat ramp, there wasn’t a fish cleaning station, someone dumped fish into the dumpster and it left the entire campground rancid all weekend. Thankful that some of the trees survived the flood a few years ago however a lot didn’t appear to have made it.

@ThomasC6214588 · Camped on May 13, 2022 at Campsite #3

Small, pretty well-maintained, quiet and peaceful

@sherrier359 · Camped on Oct 29, 2021 at Campsite #9

Always love Stockdale very quiet and restfully.

@DarciD153 · Camped on Oct 22, 2021 at Campsite #8

It was nice to be back at Stockdale! The new site pads are so large & wide! Sad to see some of the big trees gone from the flood but glad many could be saved. Appreciate all the work put in to re-open this campground.

@DannyH253 · Camped on Oct 22, 2021 at Campsite #2

Nice camp site, Don't follow GPS long drive on gravel road dust everywhere take the long way around. Dump station is almost 1/2 up hill from camp, lots of loud booms due to army base not far away

@PenniA911 · Camped on Oct 22, 2021 at Campsite #3

Small campground, which we love. Beautiful. Was able to walk the dogs down the dirt road. The only downfall was the hike up the hill to the shower building. Would definitely stay here again.

@JamieC498 · Camped on Oct 17, 2021 at Campsite #2

Nice quiet spot with a wonderful view

@MarkB605 · Camped on Oct 7, 2021 at Campsite #1

Great campsite over looking the Tuttle creek reservoir. Very small camp site, few trails for hiking and biking. Water sport haven.

@JoanneD357 · Camped on Oct 7, 2021 at Campsite #9

Park was very clean but camping spots need to be a little more level. Camp host were very friendly and helpful. Overall great experience.

@JoanneD357 · Camped on Sep 23, 2021 at Campsite #4

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!!!
