Hidden Little gem in the forest. This is a 20 site campground. There are two restrooms and potable water. Early in the spring the lake will fill with snow runoff at 6,000 acre feet. Campground is well maintained. Great host. Great spot to use as Basecamp as you adventure into the Sierras during the day. Lots of awesome history in this area. Highly recommend
Well-maintained campground with a great host. Campsites are reasonably sized, with tables & pits for all, and most on reservoir side, with good views. Late in season the reservoir was pretty low, so not as pleasant a view. Also, hunting season begins mid-Sept and campground is popular with hunters, who are (very) early risers, so no sleeping in with the cacophony of trucks and ATVs before 6:00 am. No formal trails nearby, and surprising amount of road traffic, due to nearby cabin community. Shout-out to host, Jamie, who was friendly and helpful at every turn.
We had an awesome family trip. Can be very cold in June, low 30s, rain and hail. Be prepared!
I was very pleased with the campground clean. Camp host Jamie very friendly. I strongly recommend
Love this place had a great time although the camping area is still closed but what a beautiful lake
