Huge camp site, and nicely cared for. Restrooms are close by and very well maintained. Shade is hard to come by in the center open area, due to its large size. Plan accordingly for warmer days. We moved our chairs around a lot. This is a great campground!
Carlos Osornio
There is ample space between camp sites where you are not too close to your neighbors. Restrooms everywhere around the site. Drinking water faucets placed around the site. Staff is very friendly and keeps the place very clean. They drive around constantly, checking that everyone is following the rules. About a half mile to Woodscanyon Lake. They also have ice forsake on site. It's camping with some added amenities. Love this place.

Awesome getaway! Way cooler than the Valley with the smell of pine hitting you as you drive up the 260. Great spots for tents. Campers have to stay on pads. 3 minutes from the marina and boat ramp. Great fishing!

Had such an amazing time here with family. It was my first time camping as an adult. I remember camping when I was little but haven’t been back since. So this was a nice little getaway from everything! Great time to reflect and play card games and sit around the fire and talk. It wasn’t too busy this time of season. It was quiet and clean. We slept in an RV. Next time maybe considering taking a tent as well to experience that. But overall everything was awesome! Will definitely come back!
