I was part of a big group camping at Lake Piru in early October for the first time. We discovered a great place. We loved that there are showers available, boats for rent and even delivery of firewood to our sites. I reserved over the phone and customer service is great. I definitely recommend camping at Lake Piru.

Been coming here 40 years, still a short hop skip and jump from the city. Best for RV use but tent camping is fun as well. The Lake is cold and must be on a water craft to access. Open pit fires are ok and people are nice enough. Prices arent too bad for the area.

Amazing staff. Golf carts come around every 20 minutes and assist you in any means that you may have forgot. The offer wood for fire ice candy bars even outside internet. Clean campsites and boat ready water keep this place moving. If you're in the Fillmore area do not wait this is a Hidden Gem for campers of all sizes

Great Labor Day weekend spent here. We loved that it was less than 1 hour away from the valley. Sadly the lake is very low and we had to drive out to get to the water. We reserved spot 231 and it was perfect, shaded and only in the morning around 9-11am it gets sun, otherwise it's shaded all day long! The section we were in had about 20 spots with 4 designated porta potties on one end and 3 more on the other end. We loved that it is a dog friendly campground and for the most part if you have a good boy/girl they'll be safe off leash. There are patrol units(regular campground employees or sheriffs) and only once did a sheriff remind us to have our dogs on leash. We didn't rent any water craft or take any, but the lake is very low and we did have to drive to the swimmable area so be prepared to drive your car unless you plan on hiking. Also, you will loose phone signal under spectrum and T-Mobile, not sure about other service providers. I only used the shower once and it was $2.25 for 12 minutes.

We come up just about every year. Usually for a week at a time. Every year it's been a lovely experience. Most people respect the camp quiet times, thankfully! Lots of trails around the camp ground to walk as a family. The play area is fun for the kids and we've enjoyed the swim area. The bathrooms and showers are clean and get cleaned daily. All the campground crew and rangers are awesome. Thank you guys for all you do!

Wonderful camp grounds, lots are big and have electrical outlets (for those who like to glamp) we’ve actually been coming here since I was a little girls and it feels great to bring my girls here so they can have the same memories I had growing up. The lake is beautiful but lower than I remember. There is a beach area for swimming, I only saw one loading dock open again due to the water levels. Showers are decent the bathrooms are clean

The sites were flat and clean. The water was a little weird, there are spigots but some of the locals said they don’t drink from it and bring in bottled water. Restrooms were clean but damaged since some people are disrespectful. The staff cleaned/mopped the toilets twice while we were there! I’d go back for sure.

Nice lake , not too busy . Go camping , do some fishing. Get outdoors it's good for the mind and body.

My favorite place to camp! They have electricity, hot showers, clean bathrooms, a sink station for washing dishes and washers and dryers if you need them. I love seeing the deer!

Very nice stay at this camping area, not a hotel. As this indicates. 🤭😊 The camp hosts are so nice and friendly. We enjoyed our stay. It was nice, quiet, and so nice to see all the deer out and about. We got in some running and biking in the area.

It's an ok place to camp at for local quick weekend getaways. More favorable to camp here between fall thru spring, summers must get very hot.

Went to play disk golf, the people at the lake are doing a fantastic job with the course. Please keep up the good work. Thanks

Had an excellent time. Just a wonderful experience. Staff very helpful as a friend had a flat and ranger? Staff member had a plug kit and compressor and was a savior

Nice park and reasonably affordable. It is definitely a little on the loud side and you are on top of your neighbors. But we got through it. I was able to snag a last minute spot. Which is probably why I got stuck with a not so great spot in terms of trying to back my camper in. My biggest complaint is that the site we got (Site 23) a full hook up site was not meant for a fifth wheel and was almost impossible to get into due to the two trees you have to squeeze the trailer between. I made it work with zero damage and a patient wife though. Just hoping to save someone some trouble. I would recommend that the park eliminate the tree in the middle of the site. Until then I wouldn't recommend the site to anyone bigger than 30'. The two on either side site 21 or 25 were setup so much better. This camp ground is built on a hillside so expect to use leveling blocks.. Other than that it was a great weekend. Also I didn't use any amenities so I cannot speak for that. The staff was very nice. The lake is low but water was warm and nice for swimming.
