It is much more isolated than other campgrounds in the area and not along the side of the road. They also have an ATV road at the back of the campsite and a trail. Not sure if you are supposed to walk on the ATV trail but it has really pretty views of the mountains. The toilets were fine, for a campground they were pretty good! It got COLD at night, my car said it was 37 degrees! the stars were INCREDIBLE and I highly recommend going on a night with a new moon!

So things the website does not tell you. 1. The entire campground is full of red ants. They are EVERYWHERE! 2. The lake isn't an actual lake...its a water reserve, you can not swim in it! You can fish and go boating but no body contact with the water is allowed. The lady at the boat counter told my husband they make sure to leave that info out so people still come. There is a swimming hole by the camp but they charge you to use it and it fills up fast. 3. The camp host does not enforce quiet hours time rules (10-6) While we were there a large group blasted music until about 3am when another camper had to tell them to turn it down. Luckily I had a good camping group and we made the best of it we could. The beach is close so that's cool but definitely do not plan on going back. In response to the reply I got from the campground (it's not allowing me to reply) It might not be part of your camping facility but it is what attracts people to it...and the one advertised next to it. We traveled 3.5 hours to this site so it was a big disappointment to know its not an actual lake. I'm posting this so people do not make the same mistake. We would not have chosen this site if it was not by the lake. It was paradise campgrounds.

Worst camping experience of my life. Rude campers talking loudly all night, dogs barking at all hours. No attempt to even be remotely considerate of others, but I guess that's California for you. For $38 a night, I absolutely do not recommend staying here.
