Camp sites are not bad. Some have shade others don't they also dont have a pre built campfire area, and they do at least have a grill to do bbq. Not too far walk to the water. But it's not bad for a small break from town or drama. The cell service is iffy at times, I so probably recommend some walkie talkies if you're in a larger group

One of the best camping lakes around. The showers need to be updated in loop A. The hot shower stated on the website was nonexistent. Water temp was cold but I got use to it. Great all around.

Spent a day at the lake. Got there fairly early so we can avoid the crowds and get a good spot. Bathrooms are clean. Lake had a lil bit of trash (we cleaned up) please pack out what you bring in. It was nice and peaceful having privacy for a good amount of the day. It definitely starts to get packed later on in the day so we packed up.

Weekday trip. Nice and quiet... Kinda weird, we had reserved spot someone thought it was ok to take it because they liked it better than their spot. Well we did let them keep it and took theirs. If the other wasn't comparable we wouldn't of agreed. Although I thought they were rude for hooking up their water to the spigot (these are community spigots) they did put an adapter on it so there's a way for others to get water. But supposed the next person does the same. No way to hook up another adapter.. so no water for the rest of the nearby sites. If you want full hookups get one of those sites, plenty available.. Bathrooms were good as we're showers. Clean, but campground was practically empty. They do need to put some trash containers around loops. The only trash was a ways away at bathrooms. Lake was full.

Just stayed here in July. HOT HOT HOT...103, 102...not the campsites fault. Stayed in the RV section full hooks ups. No problems. A few sites blasted there music for parts of the day and one group was loud till 11 pm. Overall nice clean sites. DO NOT BRING YOUR BIKES, Goat thorns everywhere, almost all bikes got flats.

I love this lake. I frequent it often and fish every time I go. The water level stays pretty much the same, the bigger lake up to, McClure, is a bit low this time of year. Overall, it's a great place to bring the family.

Website could use some work for camping reservations but the actual place is amazing. Water is clean. Great place to fish and boat/kayak

Beautiful gem within an hours drive. Camping, fishing or just relaxing is just the ticket for a weekend. Plus, you can visit Lake McClure just up the road at no additional cost.

A very nice place to relax and enjoy nature. I definitely need to come back and it's close to home. Sparsely populated during the week. Very pleased with the cabin, which could accommodate 8 guests. Love it.
