We come here as a family every year during the summer and we love. Some family stay in a cabin and the rest of us camp out in our tents. I love here because of the little amenities it has to offer like, coin hot showers, flush toilets, swimming pool, a small convenience store, and there bar and grill that serves amazing food and drinks not to mention the people there are so nice and hospitable. We have come to a few problems the last couple of years though, last year the pool was not in service and we weren't notified ahead of time, also normally they are on it so that people respect the quiet time last year not so much another issue was they let the restrooms stay dirty a whole weekend which was left pretty bad, this year we had a power outage and not once did the ranger come to talk to us or give us some kind of information on the situation, because of the power outage you are unable to use some of there amenities like shower, or the store, we drove 30 minutes out to the nearest store to get ice, and we drove over an hour out trying to find a place to shower, thankfully we decided to call around 6:30pm when they told us the power was back on. We never got a sorry or anything, it was very disappointing but it is what it is. This year's there were a lot of bugs so bring bug spray.

Had a great time camping at Lake Cachuma! Our site was clean and well maintained, and it was awesome to be able to have a campfire at night. We had some great luck fishing and the star watching was absolutely incredible. You can see so many stars out there away from the city lights. The only things to be aware of are the market prices, which are a bit high, so it's a good idea to bring your own groceries. Also, it can get pretty dusty,, so be prepared for that. Overall, a really fantastic camping trip and we'll definitely be back!

Our families come here every year, and we started off with a tent, and now my wife prefers the Trailer from Campos Campers. This is the second year with the trailer, and now we have added a projector. The Park Ranger is always out, and about so there are no real issues. You can rent a boat we did that held 12 passengers and it ran about $65.00 per family. The General Store is a bit pricey but expected oh and the have gasoline $5.49 per gallon. All together, not a bad spot for the family and friends.

The foilage was beautiful and the restrooms were clean. Site 260 had a nice view of the lake. Minus one star because there was no staff when we checked in so we didn't know if we were going to get in trouble for not having the car placard, and then no staff at night when our camp neighbors were up until 2am yelling.
