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.

A go to getaway campground for family and friends. Love the location of campground. Big and beautifully surrounded by nature. A top 3 for me of all campgrounds I’ve been to and frequentl as many times as I can.

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.

One of my favorite campgrounds. Best to visit in April/May when the grass and foliage are a vivid green. The campsite is pretty big with several good spots for fishing, a restaurant, a boat launch & marina, an off leash area, a playground and a store onsite. The campground is well maintained and the toilet blocks are clean enough. Huge group picnic area.

Nice campground with many and a wide variety of sites. Clean restrooms, very interesting Nature Center. Regular Ranger patrols Laundry facilities have short hours and were non functional during our visit. Sites could use some gravel.

It is very clean and well kept. The price was good just be sure to do your research not all camp sites are level. Also make sure you bring what you need with you because the store prices are a little high. But over all it was an amazing trip with the hole family and I would recommend everyone give it a try.

Very quiet campground as there weren’t many people around us. Average amenities. Good views and a hike close by.

Really enjoyed our stay here with our RV. Large Campground with lots of options. This time of the year allowed us to find a spot just couple of days earlier. Liked having Camp store with a small variety of goods, but seems to be the right types of products for campers. Noticed they had marshmallows and chocolate for smores of course 😋. For dry camping only $25/night.

We had a wonderful time. The weather was perfect, rented a boat and spent 3 hours on the lake. It's so peaceful camping at the lake. We love it.

This is a really nice campground, right on the lake. Spacious sites, beautiful scenery, and clean facilities.

We didn't have a great experience here and I would not visit again. The campground is pretty rundown and not very nice to look at. It's way overpriced for what it is. At 5 or 6 am, we were woken up by someone yelling into a megaphone from a boat on the lake (not sure what they were doing, but it was loud) and prior to that we were woken up in the middle of the night by some turkeys who were surrounding our tent and causing a ruckus. In the morning we saw several more turkeys in the campground. We were camping in a tent and almost everyone else we saw was in an RV so if you'll be in a tent you might feel a little out of place here. The lake is pretty but you can't swim in it. The bathrooms do have showers which is nice but they were not the cleanest. Overall, this just isn't a very nice campground and I would find something better if you can.

One of worst camping experiences we've ever had. Sewage was backed up at our site. We spent hours trying to fix, then the gate staff attempted to fix. We were offered another site, but after dealing with a sewage back up all afternoon, we were tired of the whole situation (and disgusted) and wanted to go home. The site next to us didn't have any power. The staff was kind, the 1 star is for him, and understood our frustration and told us we could get a refund. We sent in the request paperwork and got denied by park and rec management. Todd, the manager was argumentative, turned it into a "he said she said" and refused to provide us any sort of refund. Terrible handling, terrible customer service, disappointing this is government workers at their finest. We will never stay here and don't recommend it. There are plenty of other wonderful, beautiful state campgrounds out there folks! This isn't the one to waste time at.
