This is our go to camping spot. It's gorgeous. It's not the easiest to get to because of the pot holes on the drive up but it's worth it. They have restrooms but no showers or water. There is a boat ramp. It's amazing for kayaking. We always fish but rarely catch anything. Each camp site has a fire pit you can BBQ on and a picnic table. I think it's about $10 a day. You put the money in a box at the campsite. It's always clean and its so much fun.

Beautiful beach area! The water was perfect, some grumpy campers but other than that it was a beautiful day and a wonderful time!

This place was great! The roads both on the way to the campground and inside the campground are good. There are multiple vault bathrooms, as well as bear-proof trash bins and a water station. Apparently there’s supposed to be a $10/night fee, extra if you have pets or additional vehicles, but there weren’t any forms to register and no camp host on site. This campground is pretty close to the reservoir. It was only like a 5 minute walk from our campsite to the water. We saw a few people driving their trucks out that way to fish or something. There is a concrete boat launch, but at the time we visited it ended way before the water level. I would definitely come here again.

The road from Big Bend is horrible. Huge potholes, very tricky to navigate and could be very hard on RVs and boat trailers. This year the lake was down very low for dam repairs

This is one of my favorite all time spots, I gave it a 4 because the water was low this camping trip. I know it's a reservoir but during July everyone looks forward to this spot, including us locals so they should let out some water during July at least. Other then that it's beautiful!
