The road to get to the campground was paved all the way which was great. The campground was very well maintained. The camp host was really friendly and helpful. And Antelope lake was really fun to swim and paddle board in. We'll definitely be back again!

My family had a blast at this campsite. We had water and restrooms near us so it was definitely a bonus. Sheila the host was so amazing!!! She is very friendly but dont underestimate her she will have you out if you dont follow the rules. Which was not a problem for us. She was so nice to us that we invited her to have dinner with us many nights and it was a blast. Will definitely be coming back !

Our family had a great time camping, our spot was closed to the restrooms, had some shade and plenty of room!! We went to eagle lookout it was beautiful, seen some bald eagles swoop down to get some dinner!! Swimming was awesome. The day use area wasnt the best place for swimming as the grass was high.

The lake is wonderful as usual. However the campground is run down and every year getting worse. The camp host seem to try but signs say to keep vehicles on pavement but the pavement has deteriorated and the sites are very small. Overall I will be back because of the lake and the good fishing. We have a 36 ft, class A and most sites are either too small or the turn into them is too tight. No drive throughs at all,

It was out first time coming here, it was nice and quiet, I loved seeing and hearing the cows grazing and the deer walking right through our campsite. The bathrooms were NOT stinky and the lake access was nice and convenient and the lake beautiful. The host was nice, even gave me a lighter to light our fire. We will definitely be going back.

We really enjoyed our time at the campground. We had never been there and chose our site from the map on the web. Lots of lovely trees, a beautiful lake that is minutes away, and the quiet of nature. We would definitely come back.

It was an okay experience. Camp hosts weren’t very friendly. Lake was muddy.

Beautiful lake! Bring and USE bug spray.

@MiaK5128492 · Camped on Jun 18, 2021 at Campsite #67

Lots of shade, but the water area was very muddy, the parts that weren’t muddy were full of seaweed. Overall it was a really nice campground and I would go again.

This lake was great. Although I wouldn’t be able to imagine it when it is packed with people. Everything was booked until the fire started and there was road closures due to the fire so a bunch of people didn’t make it out. Quiet time is from 10pm to 6am so if you plan on having music and staying up past that time be thoughtful. Water was very low from usual frequent visitors said. But we had a great time will be back and I hope it is great again when more people are there.

Giant party of like 40 people came in at 9:00 at night and took up the 3 spots next to us. Clearly not giving a sh** about the Covid-19 6 person per site limit. They were blocking the roads with their cars, had trailers parked along the road and not in designated spots. They partied as loud as possible until 3am. Were drunk and stumbling through our camp and even had one come urinate in our site at about 2am. Oh let’s not forget riding their side-by-side into ours and others camp sites. Never once did the camp host come say a word to them. It was so bad that we left a day early and gave up our paid for spot. Very disappointed and will not return.

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!!!
