Great weekend of camping trip with the family. Be prepared is hot during summer. Not sure if I will be back, to far of a driving from San Diego.

Great relaxing time. Many areas of choice to camp in . From concrete pads to dirt Tent areas. General store inside, water slides and boat and tackle shop.

We had a good experience here. The grounds were clean and the water areas were watched closely by several Life Guards. There is plenty of seating and the bathrooms/showers were clean. They don't allow food inside so next time we will pack a cooler to leave in the truck, they will stamp your hand so you can return with no problems and there are even shady spots close to parking where you can picnic or set up a camp for the day. There is also a food truck to check out.
Note: Parking is $20, not $15 like the website says.

We camped in our 30' class A with at the full hookup site A5. By early pm your awning will do little more than shade the side of your rig because of the layout of the spaces (A6 has better shade, which is critical in the afternoon). Thankfully we had two, in-ground umbrellas which worked well. No grass to speak of, level concrete pads extend to include a large area for their metal picnic table. Basic hookups but no WiFi.

We visited off season so the adjacent parking lot felt ridiculously oversized but it's an easy walk to cafe and bait shop. There is a park with tables, playground, fish cleaning station, basic restrooms, dog walking area with bags.

Lake level is extremely low but it's pretty. Long walk to the lakeside if you have any mobility issues at all. We rented a shaded pontoon boat for five hours but didn't catch anything. Not even a bite. It was quiet during our midweek stay.

Minimal and infrequent traffic noise from the road nearby. In the park however, there are quite a few vehicles driving past the site. Thankfully, most adhere to the posted limit which is sufficient to keep the sound to a minimum.

The boat shop across the lot was apparently working on engines. The noise was loud and offensive but only lasted 10 minutes or so at a time.

The check in process was easy enough though I did think the attendant should have come out from his booth to the driver's window. The rate seemed fair, we got what we came for (except for the Bass). We would return if it weren't so far outside our orbit.

We have camped all over the U.S. from New York to Washington State and Japan, let me tell you this about this campground: if you are a serious camper, DON'T GO! This place is crowded- loud and crowded, so NOT about camping. If you like crowds, loud neighbors and no privacy it's for you. If you are looking for a camping experience by a lake, NOPE. We just wanted a quiet weekend of camping, hard to find in So Cal, but we sorely missed the mark on this one. If you think the water park might save you, forget it, also crowded and small. The absolute, hands down, worst waste of a camping reservation ever. We ended up leaving the first day and ate over $100. Just don't do it.

Great time here. Was able to set up a canopy and chairs to rest in between water fun. Only problem is that you cant bring in your own food and snacks. We had to leave the park and eat by our car in the parking lot. Pretty inconvenientl. Overall the park is fun, safe, clean and very well staffed with attentive lifeguards.

This place is interesting to say the least. It's very overcrowded and short on restrooms. Camp sites are all dirt and it's pretty noisy. However, after I stopped a couple kids from walking through our site and the rangers passed through making everyone quiet down on the first night, the trip turned out to be a lot of fun. It's all what you make it and having the right expectations beforehand makes a big difference.

Our neighbors were loudly drinking into the night. I was hoping they would get kicked out. Quite time that is not enforced is not quite time.

Camping spaces are uneven. Restrooms were mostly porter potties. The best feature here is a nice new gate at the entrance. I really wonder what it cost. The store was pretty good. Even Cachuma was a much better experience for us.

Trashy place with little regard to the environment. No swimming in the lake but they built a wasteful water park. Terrible staff with mainly teenagers and people that really don't care and don't value their customers because they are owned and funded by the government. Sad to see all the trash and waste that comes in and out of here.

We had a wonderful time. The cafe has some of the best customer service I've ever had. The little convience store has EVERYTHING we needed! It's was absolutely beautiful the entire trip. We were also lucky enough to be there while the "soft grand opening" was there for the water park. We had an amazing time. The rangers were personable and kind. They were extremely helpful and friendly. I would recommend staying at this campground to all of my family and friends. We will be back!

Well maintained. Eagles year round. Good hiking trails. Cafe for breakfast, lunch, dinner. Wine and beer. Meadows for Bocce ball, horseshoe pits, playgrounds, really active camp host and shell boat training.
