Good views, but restrooms needed thorough cleaning and grounds were full of goat-head stickers. I can't imagine what people with pets were forced to put up with. Also, the water went out to all campers for a few hours one morning. Also, the camping sites were very close together. Good thing there wasn't a lot of noise, except for when the water stopped flowing. The marina had a nice restaurant, but that's about the only positive on my trip. I probably won't be back.

Great trip. Beautiful park and friendly people.

We love to camp at Pettit Bay. Close to home nice swimming area for the kids, good boat ramps but the loading dock has serious holes in the floor that really needs repairs. We use it loading and unloading the kids on our boat and we have to carry them over the holes. Theres some much needed repairs on the playground also, safety issues. We mowed and weed eated our campsite but it wasnt any trouble.

Beautiful camping in area 2, but the bathhouse wasnt as clean as I have seen in many state parks. Dump station is in area 1

@STEVENM2892720 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #48

Very nice campsites, though a few more 50 amp sites would be nice. James and Tammy are wonderful

Our second time to this campground and loved it both times. One was off season, in the fall, not many people were around but still loved it. Poker run weekend on the lake and from our site, you could not have gotten a better vantage point to watch all the activity

@AaronF323CA89B · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #26

Decent area for camping. The restroom and shower facilities are significantly lacking. Be sure to bring your own toilet paper and soap. Also bring a mower, weed eater, and blower. Youll probably have to clean up your campsite. The people that do this dont seem to care about this aspect of the park. Also, depending on where your campsite is, you could need up 100 ft of hose to connect to a water source. Good luck and have fun.

Camp host are friendly and helpful

@Stephanie22978 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #8

Campsite was clean and quiet, I think it poses a huge safety risk having the gates shut at 10:00pm if there was a fire or medical emergency the delayed time in opening the gate could cost a life or loss of property.

@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #10

Campground was mowed and clean. Great time at the lake in spite of the intense heat.

@MikeU3077345 · Camped on Jun 16, 2024 at Campsite #2

Need to fix sewer pump for full service campsites can actually be full service

@CaronM94AD331C · Camped on Jun 10, 2024 at Campsite #10

The grounds were not mowed and we had to go home (25 miles one way) to get our lawnmower & weed eater to mow around the 4 camp sites we and our family and friends had rented. The grass was calf high when we got there and we were there 2 weeks without any mowing done, except what we did. Other campers were driving by to ask why our grass was mowed and the rest of the park was not.

@GaryB5198117 · Camped on Jun 7, 2024 at Campsite #A26

Our campsite was great although there were flossing picks scattered all over the ground. Charcoal grill was full of trash. The view has been blocked by to many boat slips built recently in the cove. Im sure that was politics involved to allow that. The playground equipment is in bad need of repairs. Who cares about the children? I do. This was once a great campsite for families. Maybe someday it will have better management and have a safer environment. My credit card charged me for an extra night because the camp host was having computer issues. I know some of these issues cant be solved locally, like to many boat slips allowed to be built, but maybe som of it can. Thanks to those that care.

@EtterNFAAA6223 · Camped on May 22, 2024 at Campsite #25

Location good but the power supply connection on several of the campsites need servicing badly, very old and corroded connections may cause RV issues not wanted by campers

@RonaldM7208164 · Camped on Sep 18, 2023 at Campsite #9

Great park. We were in spot 9 pull through. Our motorhome was perfectly level without and adjustments. Clean showers and bathrooms. Had full scale 5G with Verizon and AT&T. We Will be back.

@AmieW8134612 · Camped on Aug 4, 2023 at Campsite #20

So the site was almost perfect. We had a level spot for our camper, a great working grill, and it was very clean and the views were spectacular. The only thing I would complain about was there was active ant colonies all over and around the pad. I was stung six times by fire ants that I didn't see on my feet when we were sitting outside on the pad looking at the stars the first night. It would be great if you guys could somehow spray for ants, at least around the perimeter. We've never really experienced this issue before. Next time I'll bring something with us for prevention. It didn't ruin our trip. The views and friends and fun made up for it. Thank you!

@BryanC1924164A · Camped on Aug 4, 2023 at Campsite #49

The gate attendants / camp ground hosts are the best!

@NormaF7723148 · Camped on Aug 3, 2023 at Campsite #A26

Nice and quiet with a beautiful view!

@JamieC5721207 · Camped on Jul 30, 2023 at Campsite #28

@JohnG7676070 · Camped on Jul 25, 2023 at Campsite #A25

Was good except ants everywhere, got in our motorhome and grocries.

@EricB5484998 · Camped on Jul 20, 2023 at Campsite #A7

Great park and the nicest staff!! Besides the courtesy dock, bathrooms and the childrens play areas requiring much needed attention for repairs, the grounds were well kept.

@DebbieC9683255 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #A4

It is always clean and well maintained the gate staff is amazing I love going there

@RonC4506391 · Camped on Jun 19, 2023 at Campsite #49

It was a good experience, the people are very friendly.

@GaryB5198117 · Camped on Jun 7, 2023 at Campsite #A1

Fishing was good. There was no water at times. Restrooms locked. One dump station closed. The playground had broken equipment that needs replaced, dangerous for children. A lot of day use not paying and camps taken not occupied.Self pay for camps not recognized. We liked camping there for years but it’s slowly going down hill. Hope we get some new management soon.

@RussellS811673 · Camped on Jun 4, 2023 at Campsite #49

Very nice facility, camp hosts helpful and courteous. First camping at this lake, will likely try others but will also return here as now I know the place.

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!!!
