It wasn't what I expected. It was pretty, but you cannot swim in the water. If the wildflowers were not blooming the hike would have just been hot and boring. Positives- not a lot of people, lots of flowers, clean. Negatives - no swimming, hiking was just a quick walk not a real hike.

Love Pardee... I just wish there wasn't so much trouble with the muscle invasion... Pardee so far has not had them, but no boats are allowed on the lake to fish.

This is one of the best places I've ever camped at! There were only 2 things that were bad about the place. The first was that there were people running generators for almost the entire night right up untill about 10:00 PM. The seconds was that they didn't restock the fish in the lake. Not a single person got a bite on their line once.

We were there the last 2 weeks of July 2024 And they had closed down the rest of the park with only the long-term parking area available which is what we wanted anyway for 520 per month Plus electric. Very nice place very well-cared-for and very clean concrete pads etc et cetera and very good walking area around the Marina and in the hills. It was quite hot during the time we were there so be prepared. Sarah and the other managers were very nice. Check beforehand if the restrooms showers and laundry are available they were having problems with the water filter for those systems.

Very nice Lake. Easy to find. Friendly staff. Only went for the day, but the campsites looked very inviting. Day use areas were clean. We really liked all the bathrooms and garbage cans conveniently placed around lake. Also, nice touch with all the benches placed around the lake.

Whether you are out for a day use only or camping. Anything from tent camping or using your RV Pardee is a Central Valley Jewel. Even with all the Lakes as low as they are you still have excellent boating and fishing. When my grandkids come from all over California the first thing they ask when we go get that party boat and take it to that Lake of yours it's my go-to place although you can't get in the water because it's used for drinking they do have a swimming pool available for the kids

No water contact as this is a reservoir. You cannot touch the water in any type of way. Supposedly good fishing but you have to use "approved" bait from their bait shop. Locals only maybe..? I wouldn't drive out there again.

Good fishing but you have to know how to do it there. Can't just drop a worm in the water.

Great staff and sometimes it's a wonderful fishery they need to lower the limit of Kokanee and trout from 10 to 5
