Spots right on the lake but views would be better if they trim blackberry bushes. Beautiful little Reservoir. Great Wi-Fi here which was a surprise lost one star because campsites not well maintained as far as cleanup. Food scraps on picnic table when I arrived. Garbage on ground. Camp host constantly driving through park with a stereo on full. Leaves his door open when he stops and music still playing so it is very annoying in such a peaceful place. Woke me up twice this morning in addition to daytime noise. If I see him I will definitely say something. They do need to trim a bit some branches sticking out into roadway. Lost star for that. Scratched my car and trailer. Tight spots and very low water pressure between 32 and 42psi...fluctuating

I had a lot of fun visiting for the first time. The hosts were top notch and made sure that we had everything we needed. While staying they were always driving around visiting campers and their truck has a few extra necessities in case someone needed a loan. Wood too except it's a no burn time, ugh! So no cool camp fires at night. When we arrived the camp was clean and the announcements board was well organized. Everyone's schedule/space was posted and all of the rules were there. The roads are a bit narrow so one way only but only a couple other campers were set up so pulling in wasn't a challenge. Seeing another person set up camp made me understand the strict rules about parking and keeping to the camp space. I loved the forest and the view. Where we were staying I wouldn't guess there was a playground and more to do but the hosts chatted and later showed where it all was (thank you!). We did experience a group which was disruptive. As much as the hosts tried to diffuse the situation they kept spreading out and being noisy. If it wasn't for the hosts I think they would've blocked the road and our access. I can't go up hills well with my disabilities and relied on the road to walk the dogs. Talking to the hosts was so cool. They assured me that those were blackberries and not to eat the low hanging fruit 🤣 for reasons you can guess. I was creeped out at the webbing on plants but they told us about the caterpillars and it was fascinating. As a topper: When exiting the gravel road across the main one actually takes you up a narrow (scary) winding road all the way up that mountain to a stunning vista!!! I am so happy to have gone and it's now a great memory of camp. It's not often that a camp has hosts who are a huge presence and help. I'd visit again!

We rented a cabin. In November. They have a small wall fireplace heater. But they have electricity so I would recommend bringing a space heater. It took a very long time to get the cabin warmed up. But it's really nice and cozy. Really enjoyed my stay. Will definitely return. The camp host even came by to make sure we were doing OK. Highly recommend for a weekend getaway. Oh? The beds are really hard. Bring a pad and you ll to bring your bedding. For a winter stay.its been rainy and beautiful.

I want to tell you about our stay. We had a great time, the campground was beautiful and very clean. We had no hot water in our motor home so we used the bathroom/showers and I was so pleased to see that they were well taken care of and cleaned daily by the camp host. Now I want to tell you about your camp host Clay. He is literally a life saver. My husband was having a diabetic episode/seizure at 3:00 am. I ran to my friends motorhome that we were camping with and woke them up. They came over and saw him and the husband drove to the camp host Clays trailer. He woke Clay up and asked him to call 911 which he did. Clay stayed at the top of the road so he could tell the ambulance where we were camping. If it had not been for Clay, calling 911 I’m pretty sure my husband would’ve gone into a diabetic coma. I want to give a big shout out to Clay, and thank him from the bottom of my heart. Sheri Sweet

This place is awesome not only do I have a view of the lake from my trailer but I’m surrounded by pine trees and nature. I had a blue bird every morning staring at me from my chair outside while I relaxed in my trailer. There are the most beautiful squirrels running around the camp looking for crumbs. The camp hosts were very helpful when we got here because we didn’t get here from California until 10:30pm and I’m disabled so not much help for my husband for set up which they were more than happy to get us and our pups settled for the night. Even though there was a lot of smoke around we extended our trip by a couple of days because it is so quiet and relaxing here. Most of the campers around us were very friendly and nice except for the RV in space #5 that had about twenty or so people come up to celebrate a birthday and block the road with their car and boat even though the camp hosts kept asking them to move it how rude. Was very happy when I woke up and they were gone🎉🎉🎉🎉. Decided not to leave on Sunday and changed to leave on Tuesday. Great place look forward to coming back May just rent as cabin next time. Also I have been to a lot of public bathrooms and I have to say I was very impressed with how clean yours were!!

The Camp Host on 4-17-21/4-18-21 was the rudest host my family and I have came across! Very unpleasant to talk to. She refused to speak to any campers until after 10 a.m. she refused to put toilet paper in the potty- it was still empty when we left at noon on Sunday. We were in tents and the spots are small but beautiful. We had a spot right next to a stream and we loved listening to it. Our camping neighbors were very nice and we all seemed to get along great 😆 especially since we all had at least one thing in common A HORRIBLE CAMP HOST! My 6 yr old son loved the playground ❤ We would only be going back after the host is replaced.

Husband wife camp host she’s is amazing yet pretty lazy and wouldn’t clean one of the cabins so we could rent 2 instead of 1 that was just annoying otherwise she was lovely to deal with he is a rude jerk! No pets in cabins and Normal pet rules everywhere else. nice showers and bathrooms they are clean. Stayed in spot 20 most Secluded camper spot. Friends rented a cabin number 2 which was perfect and proved to be great to have a shower and bathroom to yourself a s closer to the water but just a small trail to the camper site made it convenient to come and go between the two . Smokey now but usually isn’t. Lots of blackberries to pick and eat saw some deer while here right in the park. Waters warm just to muddy on shore for my liking. Like quicksand In some spots. Had a blast on our sea dos and jet skis! Kids enjoyed themselves! Store is bout 15 mins away. Campground has tent sites rv a sites with full hookups and camper as well. Tent sites look lovely well kept yet very woodsy feeling. Quite ao and from the water so bring it all in one trip to avoid unnecessary hot sweetly Trips. Easy to find easy to navigate. Will come back next year for sure. Small park for kids here is convening too. Lots of exploring to be done here too! Birds will get into everything here so put it away or you’ll have a mess. Wild turkeys are everywhere here don’t be startled! Prices are same most everywhere we go And here one cabin was about 65$
