Camp site - big clean! But the area for tents were not flat. Campground- very clean, nice people, maintained paths, water area. Family friendly! Water area- safe, good size, easy to access. Cabins, clean, beds not the best. Marina, nice staff, although no one that day, that knew much about boats was on staff this was unfortunate. They tried their best. Beautiful lake. Hike was about 1.5 hours, great views moderate difficulty.
Love this place, the lake and surrounding hills, and the smell of sage and juniper, the campground is nice. The bathrooms are clean, there's clean showers town is 10 minutes away
Other than no cell service, no water at the site and no dump station this is one of the best parks! Great junior ranger program, super cold lake, awesome cafe and marina. Great camp experience!
Been using their facilities over 40 years. Extremely neat,clean and very well maintained. The restraunt offers large variety of choices. Boat ramp, marina are well managed and among the best we've ever used. A SPECIAL THANKS, to the management for their help to us, in retrieving our pontoon boat and trailer during the recent wild fire of 8/24.
Very nice lakeside campground with boat launch and small café on site. Most sites are plenty big enough for a family. Host's are nice and always have activities for the kids; scavenger hunts, coloring books, owl pellet id....
