Camping in general is always fun. The campground itself was pretty, the reservoir beautiful. I’m genuinely not picky when it comes to camping or anything of the sort but there’s a few minor inconveniences. 1. No bear locker on any camp site - the camp host comes up to us day one telling us there’s a bear in the area, but again, no bear locker.. so we all had to shove all the food and dusty ice chests inside the vehicles.. 2. The loose dirt on most sites is kinda unbearable, 1 normal step and a massive cloud of dirt rises around like a cloud. Again, we’re camping and we’re going to get dirty but this was on a different level. You’ll see what I mean. 3. The reservoir is a decent walk to any shore and there’s no real flat beach like shore area to comfortably hang out at to have a smooth lake day. Overall, the camp hosts were nice. They warned us about the bear, the bathrooms were clean and always had TP. Just the other inconveniences that unfortunately stuck out quite a bit to us when we reflect back on our time there.

Love Stumpy Meadows! Came up here for a day of retreat rest and relaxation. Did some fishing and hung out with the dogs. Ate some great food shot some guns and only saw about four people. It was fantastic. This is the base of the Rubicon and it is absolutely beautiful here.

Decided to stay at Stumpy meadows campground near Georgetown. From the moment we were greeted by the hosts till the day we left they went out of their way to create an unforgettable experience. The campsite was clean and had designs raked in it . Bathrooms were very clean and wow they were even lit by motion sensor lights, Brilliant!! My children loved Elizabeth. She gave them books on the forest and told them the story of Smokey Bear. It was the best camping trip we have ever had. Thanks David and Elizabeth for the memories and sharing your love of the forest.

Great spot! They had vaulted toilets with air freshener thanks camp host! Plus refilled toilet paper a lot. No sink but a water source close by outside. Be prepared for mosquitoes! Bring spray! It’s a bit of a walk down to water but nice you can get there! Other trails too! We got a single spot a fit 4 tents on there! Next time we’ll get a double space!

Very dusty campsites, not a lot of level ground for tents. Lake is very easy to get too and refreshing on hot summer days. Bring water/river shoes, lots of rocks on the shoreline because of such low water levels due to the drought. Also, currently no campfires or charcoal bbq. You need a permit for any open flame (gas grill)

we were here for 3 days early Aug.2020. Love the campsite, pleasant host, very clean location, bathrooms, large spaces that's far enough from the next camper. Our site #28 had a great view and literally across from a path down to the lake. Quite place to hangout, take a dip in the lake. And really unwind. Definitely recommend this.

We had a great time. Water was clear and warm. They have fire pits where you can cook and you can also collect from there wood to burnt. Most of the camping site I’ve been does not allow it. Nice staff clean areas. Bring a shower tent if you’d like to shower. Bathrooms are like the blue portables

It is great place. The campsite has big fire pit, table, parking spot. The minus is there no any sink inside the bathroom, only vault toilet. Not a big deal, but did not expect that. Drinkable water near almost every campsite. There is no bear boxes, so the host asked to keep food inside the car. Collecting wood is not prohibited, so kids were really happy about it. Also you can buy wood right there. You can get an access to the Day Use Area, if you want, just ask the host.
