I will not go back. The lake was so dirty, stinky and rocky that we couldnt swim in it. There was 2 feet of moldy stinky seaweed on the shore. Most camp sites do not have a view of the lake, and they are challenging to park a trailer in with odd angles and uneven ground. The bathrooms are simply stinky outhouses with no showers. There is no playground or beach area for kids to play.

Gorgeous view of Mt. Jefferson. Very quiet place, millions of mosquitoes. The site is close to the toilet but no water in there.
@Christine93542 · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #17
We very much enjoyed our 2 nights with you! Peaceful and quiet, our dog Sam enjoyed swimming. Wish we had more time there.
@barbn6FBD48B8D · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #17
the campground hosts were awesome but the water level not so much. We left early since it was a hassle to get kayaks in the water.
@DebbieC9683255 · Camped on Apr 26, 2024 at Campsite #8
We really liked our site. Pretty flat for a van. Also liked that it was away from the water.

If you like off-grid camping, this is the place. Campsites are quiet, private, and provides a good views of the lake. Yes, the price is right at $23.00. If you have the America the Beautiful Military Pass, you get 50%. Enjoy your camping.

Great peaceful spot
@leslies1712646 · Camped on Sep 1, 2023 at Campsite #24
Really nice campground. Our site had a beautiful view. The hosts were great. Very informative about the area. Only thing I think that would make it better, if the campground could have a shower.
@DaramC84B1B47D · Camped on Jun 30, 2023 at Campsite #20
Way better than my expectation! Love their friendly host who delivers firewood to your campsite. The cleanest vault toilet. Spacious campsites. It seems like most of the sites have part of a shady area. But on hot and dry days, having a canopy is highly recommended. Shores are mostly rocky, except for a little bit of sandy beach at a boat ramp. Willing to visit again!

Schöner Campground, netter Camphost!
@LindseyS0B1173 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #10
We stayed in spot 10 and had an excellent time! The spot was large, had good shade and great water access! Right next to the day use area but still felt private and far enough from other campers. Camp host was great! Paddling and swimming in the lake was nice.
@BarbP5555571 · Camped on May 1, 2023 at Campsite #23
Campground was clean and so pleasant. thanks
@SuzyW2640226 · Camped on Oct 14, 2022 at Campsite #10
Nice little campground. Be aware that photos online are not true to life, those that look like they may have flat paved driveways are actually sloped, so will need to work at leveling RVs. There are some pull through spots with nice level spaces. We stayed end of season, and unfortunately the resevoir was in the process of being drained for maintenance, so we did not have the lovely lakeside spot as anticipated. You may want to call ahead and check on the water conditions if that's important for you. But the grounds were nicely maintained and the camp host was very friendly and accomodating. Would definitely stay here again.

Most campsites seemed friendly to both tents and hammocks. Sung to sleep by coyotes.

Love Steve, camp hist beautiful maintained camping. Our new forever spot
@DentonV9772785 · Camped on Sep 25, 2022 at Campsite #13
The camping spots and website doesn’t match up. The signage is not clear between the campground and day use. The camp spaces had a lot of small pieces of garbage all around. The primary restroom’s lock was broken. The camp host was awesome to talk with.
@JosephB6747928 · Camped on Sep 10, 2022 at Campsite #24
The campground was very well maintained and the pit toilets were not stinky at all. There was potable water on site and the camp host was very helpful. I am giving it 3 out of 5 stars only because of the Reservation.gov website. The description of site 24 showed a 100' driveway and level. The actual driveway length was 25' and sloped. My setup is 53' overall and I depend on reservations to garentee I'm able to set up for the night. Thankfully, the campsite host was able to place us in different spot since we were only stopping for the night. Other than that it was a very positive 5 star experience.

Camp host was cool campsite was clean had a great time
@AnnaH8078719 · Camped on Aug 17, 2022 at Campsite #4
Nice campground with friendly camp host, though some of the bathrooms were pretty bad. Filled with flies and smelly. The reservoir was okay to paddle on. There were a lot of birds and it was not very clean.
@RickM3065083 · Camped on Jul 24, 2022 at Campsite #12
Our camp host was awesome. the size of the sites and how level they are could be re evaluated. We made do. could use better signage for direction to enter sites with large units. other wise, great camp.
@NadineP3864455 · Camped on Jul 16, 2022 at Campsite #20
Love Steve, he is the best !!
@WilliamG690099 · Camped on Jul 10, 2022 at Campsite #13
Steve is great host!!
@jeanB821 · Camped on Sep 10, 2021 at Campsite #23
It was a very quiet and peaceful place. Campsites spread apart for lots of privacy. Seems like most sites had some view of the water, etc. I was there only briefly when the host came to greet me.
@StephenG132 · Camped on Aug 27, 2021 at Campsite #16
Water was too low to swim or kayak in otherwise it would have been 5 stars

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!!!
