Awesome place to camp. Other campsites near Bay Area are always full. Though this one is a little bit far away but definitely worthy of coming. The road might be too winding so need to drive very carefully and slowly. Many people would be here and play around so we feel very safe to stay. Overall I would like to come here again.

It is a very calm and peaceful campground. The size of each site is relativle small compared to those of other state park campgrounds.

Beautiful, quite, piped running water, showers, a campsite with a spectacular view for 3 nights and all for $80🤯😁. I'll take that deal any day of the year over some outrageously priced hotel room chain that serves powdered eggs for breakfast 😂.

Road coming up makes it very inconvenient to go back into town once here. They’ve also decided that since we’re in a heatwave they wanted to last minute turn off the water so no one has flushable toilets or showers. Seriously think they’re trying to kill us all it’s 109 degrees… should’ve at least offered a refund.

We camp here a lot during the summer. It's really hot but we spend most of our time on the lake. We have run across a few big spiders in our tent so make sure you close your tent tight every time. There have also been a couple snakes on the paths but they have never given us any trouble.
