This is a National Forest Service campground on the lake side of the road. There is also a second campground directly on the opposite side of the road. All campground camping is $30 night +$2 extra on holidays. Half price with national parks pass.
It has more than 100 sites—some in the trees, some in a more exposed area with a granite Boulder background.
We were here on a Wednesday night, so it was quiet as far as campers go. There is definitely road noise, but it quiets down at night. The sites are pretty close to each other, so you better like your neighbors. There was a fair amount of trash here, and I’m not sure if it’s from the campground or blown up from the lake.
The main road in has a great site set into the boulders—dont camp here. I did. This seems to be a main thoroughfare for local traffic at all times of the day to blast through to the day use part of the lake that is accessible, then blast out. Stay up in the trees...more road noise, less local, weird, suspicious traffic. For what it’s worth, I felt safe here even with the suspicious in and out traffic—they just drive faster than anyone ever should in a campground. Keep an eye on your kids and pets.
The instructions say to find a spot and occupy it, and a “uniformed“ for a service officer will come by and take your payment. A woman came by to take my payment, but she was wearing super short “juicy“ shorts and a printed tank top. She did, however, have California government plates and she filled out the paperwork and gave us a slip to put on our site post.
There are a number of other options in the area. I have stayed directly on the shore of the lake in the national Rec area. If I come back this way, I’ll do that again and avoid this campground. It wasn’t terrible, but as I listen to the local Harley fire up it’s pipes before 8am to leave after being here 15 minutes this morning...it kinda sucks.
*I had my Tundra and 24’ toy hauler and it is TIGHT in here. My friends had their 28’ RV and it was super tight. I wouldn’t recommend anything over those sizes.
