The camp hosts were nice. We moved sites to get access to electric. The cost for the stay did not include RV dump access which is an additional $15. The boat ramp is locked up except for F-Sun which was a major let down. Bathrooms were clean, site was well maintained with the grasses mowed. Fire pit was nice. Very little trees around interior sites which makes it a bit difficult to enjoy sitting outside in camp during the hottest parts of the day. The website doesn't have all the info about cost and what is excluded. Golden passes discounts don't apply to double spaces, good luck figuring out which sites are double. Wish they would put in showers, open the boat ramp daily in summer and include the use of RV dump for paying campers.

With some good timing and luck we were able to reserve our favorite campsite. The camp host greeted us upon our arrival and frequently check the campground. They provided maps and were very friendly. The campground seemed well cared for and the compostable toilets were clean and well supplied. The lake was easily accessed from our campsite for our kayaking and paddle boarding adventures. We biked and hiked the McPhee Overlook trail which was beautiful . We had a great time and will return.

Nice campground, hosts were excellent!

@SonyaLB0B37589 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #8

Tent sites are roomy. In one area around the lake, there are a lot of interesting dry logs and sticks. They have mowed to try to discourage snakes but we were warned to watch out for rattlers, as several dogs have been bitten. It was quite windy when we were there. There's not much in that area except the lake, but the mountain bikers seemed happy with the various biking trails.

Great facility clean and quiet. Good access to water and boat ramp.

@PattyE25928A92 · Camped on Aug 14, 2023 at Campsite #21

The camp host was amazing. Very helpful and friendly.

@AutumnB916A3D4 · Camped on Aug 12, 2023 at Campsite #18

Wonderful place to stay. Everyone was so nice. We really enjoyed our stay!! Definitely will go again.

@MarkW2201412 · Camped on Aug 10, 2023 at Campsite #6

Pretty area. Really no access to water via a beach. Great if you have a boat.

@DustinC3665A0D · Camped on Jul 17, 2023 at Campsite #8

Plenty of cooler campsites in the area during the summer heat, few trees for shade here. Tons of BLM in the vicinity + shady pinion pine forests for dispersed camping. For a paid site it was a good one, host was fine; rangers very friendly.

@PhillipC427815 · Camped on Jul 12, 2023 at Campsite #6

We had a family camping trip and it was a great time. I especially loved how the park rangers got called by the camp host and tazed a person because his very friendly dog was off a leash. My recommendations for anyone planning a trip, either don’t bring your dog, or plan on having to leash your dog ALL the time. The camp host drove by multiple times a day to make sure we Obeyed all the camp ground rules. It was a blast!

@HalBC79DA07752 · Camped on Jul 7, 2023 at Campsite #21

With lake full very good time boating socializing. The Aussie host was a hoot and really on top of her work.. Very clean restrooms and she was most helpful. Although they just mowed the fields it would be good to do some trimming around the shelters. More effort should go into getting trees growing.

@MatthewR956812 · Camped on Jun 29, 2023 at Campsite #9

Had a wonderful stay, beautiful spot. I will warn you that there are a lot of mosquitoes. Also, not a lot of cloud cover so it is very warm before the sun goes down. The camp host was helpful and friendly.

@DanielV1589109 · Camped on Jun 25, 2023 at Campsite #1

Camp host and campsite was great. Only problem I had is the boat ramp is closed Tues. wed. and Thurs.

@TaoZF057064003 · Camped on Jun 23, 2023 at Campsite #2

The site is OK. Too many mosquitos in the summer so you have to prepare some bug spray. I did not find trash cans anywhere, but maybe I did not look around all the camping places. There were no specific flat place for setting up your tents so make sure you have your air-inflated bed.

@JenniferM11870 · Camped on Jun 22, 2023 at Campsite #18

Clean and beautiful sites on the water. Campground host was the best!!!!

@DanaW9470509 · Camped on Jun 20, 2023 at Campsite #20

Great spot, very nice host. Was very disappointed to have to pay an additional 15 dollars to use the dump station after paying 58 dollars per night for premium site. It should be included with premium paid sites!!!!

@LyndaHC9B4ED2F · Camped on Jun 8, 2023 at Campsite #1

Very Relaxing birthday weekend put together by my daughter Belinda our Camp Host was Amazing I’m going back in a few weeks… can’t wait

@WinfieldSBD334 · Camped on May 19, 2023 at Campsite #1

The campground was really nice. The road getting there had a large number of pot holes and rough areas that was really aggravating.

@KimberlyR15639 · Camped on Sep 16, 2022 at Campsite #2

The night sky was amazing!

@PhillipC427815 · Camped on Sep 8, 2022 at Campsite #8

Everyone in our group had to say it was the best camping trip ever. the facility was perfect for what we all had envisioned for a family camping trip.

@JohnA1386005 · Camped on Aug 25, 2022 at Campsite #13

Beautiful place! Clean restrooms and sites. Room between sites is good.

@NitaC4917378 · Camped on Aug 18, 2022 at Campsite #1

Lovely time! Grounds well taken care of. Camp host best ever! Friendliest Inspectors. We've been coming here from Rico for over 30 yrs. Only issue is "online" booking. It is not accurate in it's description of the sites and what they have. Also, site lacks images. Also the cost per night is ridiculous, since each site does not have it's own water supply and there are no showers. Don't understand the justification.

@SandraN6488972 · Camped on Aug 5, 2022 at Campsite #21

Don’t bother making an online reservation since the camp host doesn’t care & will tell you to go pick a different site since somebody else already took yours. Also the signs all around having leashes on dogs, just for decoration purposes. I had 5 different dogs from other campsites come to my site & bother my trained leashed dog. I had to hide my dog inside the car to feed her otherwise the other dogs would eat her food. There’s zero accountability & no respect. I love this campground but this was just the worst experience I’ve had. What’s the point of paying $60 a night if I’m going to have to deal with all this nonsense? NPS you need to do better.

@DawnK4232964 · Camped on Jul 8, 2022 at Campsite #18

The camp hosts are so sweet! My only complaint would be that the sites we reserved were so dirty. Each one had cigarette butts, and number 19 even had used band aids and ear plugs and an old pile of dog food in the corner. We have been coming for years and haven’t seen the sites this overgrown with weeds.

@MichaelH990269 · Camped on Jul 4, 2022 at Campsite #9

Beautiful and quiet. No shade though and nights are cold. Lake is very close though there is no beach or “shallow end” so make sure you are a good swimmer.

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!!!
