Beautiful views! Can't speak for the camping but I live nearby and enjoy relaxing at Minersville in the office season.
It's so quiet and peaceful and most of the campsites you can see the water from.
Scenic lakeside campground, sites not packed on top of each other. Boat launch is always accessible even when lake is low. Great 4 mile trail (8 total) runs east/west along the lake shore in the treeline - good run shady even in summer.
Lots of fun! USFS site has incorrect pricing for extra vehicles. It is now $7. Some of the walk in sites have multiple tables and both grills and firepits. If extra table space or a charcoal grill is important look at a few sites before you commit. Water was not working at the walk in sites, bring a water jug and fill up at the spigot by the upper bathrooms. Really nice lake access from the walk in sites. Good trailer parking near the lower camp ground as well. Plenty of sites mid week in mid/late August. Sites available weekends, but a bit less choice.
The lack is beautiful. The campgrounds are well equipped but there is a lot of poison oak around the campsite and trails. We were at the campsite for 5 days, the bathrooms were not cleaned and needed more toilet paper, and all of the trash cans were full. We were unable to talk to the campground manager. We had to find another campground manager to have some issues solved, but they were unable to resolve all of the issues. Very little phone service and no Wi-Fi. The campground manager wanted everything done online, so you have to drive 20 minutes to get enough service to get online. Very disappointing vacation. And a number of our group did get poison oak.
