This was a great weekend, my family will definitely be returning to the cabins. They were in great condition. I wish i had gotten more pictures because when i was booking i couldnt find any for reference. Very clean, cozy, and adorable. it had a grill, fire pit, swings, and everything you might forget to bring on a trip; like hand/dish soap, or utensils.

Employees know nothing! Can't tell you what spots are open or reserved, and make you go hunt for a spot! All while pulling your 40 ft RV! Can't even tell you which areas have 50 amp! Train your staff!!! Camp grounds are weed infested, with dead tree limbs laying everywhere. I mean brown dried up and obviously there for quite a while. Grass needed mowing, and dumpsters overflowing. Never saw a campground host at all while there. Honestly don't think well visit again.

Great place for camping, swimming, hiking, fishing, or just hanging out with family and friends. Plenty of tent and rv/camper spots with picnic tables, fire rings, electric, and water hook ups.

Enjoy coming to El Dorado lake so handy when traveling South. Check in is not easy. The self check in should be in each campground . Could be made easier.
