It was very nice, the only complaint is that we was right in front of the bathrooms and there was two bright lights that shined all night.

This is a beautiful COE park. Large, lots of spots. It has RV sites which can view the lake, but the lake is down an 800 foot cliff. What we did not enjoy is that they had shut down most of the RV park (we came in October), so everyone was crammed into a small area. We planned our trip for a time when it would be less crowded. Most of the good sites were with the lake view...but they were shut down. Also our spot was very difficult to get into with large trees on either side of the RV parking area . We did it -- but it was stressful!

Great campground. Well shaded. Good atmosphere . Take extra long water hose. We had to run into town and buy additional hose. Water was at entrance to campsite. Needed about 65 ft of hose.

Nice sites, ours not so level but a few lego blocks and we were good. No antenna TV signal, but we had enough Verizon cell service to stream videos.

Lovely COA campground Ive been going to for years. For a quieter site, try the electric only loops. Nice spacing between sites & plenty of shade.

Volunteers are very friendly and helpful. Sites are spacious, clean and just a very peaceful and relaxing environment

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!!!
