After reading all the reviews we decided to book site #10 its in the upper loop. Its at the top of a ridge and we only had 2 "neigbors" but weren't close at all. We booked a sunday through Tuesday. Only took away one star because it was almost impossible to find the camp host to buy wood or pay extra fees but they drove around once or twice a day . Also the upper loop portal potties need toilet paper but we brought some so it wasn't an issue. We took walks around the park, went to the day use area and bonita park area both days and had an amazing time. Site ten is relatively flat we put our 13 man tent under the large tree and had only a gently slope. As for people saying the creek and sites have trash everywhere, as of october 21st 2025 there is NONE . I genuinely didnt see ANY trash at the campground or at the day use picnic area. We all got in the creek . Our site had a spigot right out side it and it was perfect . And the fire rings are MASSSIVVEE. We will definatly be back before it gets too cold and again in the spring !

Stayed there for 3 days and two nights camp was clean and well maintained although on the second night the lady in charge of the park approached our campsite in the golf cart very rudely and told us we had to turn off our fire because we couldn’t have our wood exceeding the fire pit because it was windy she didn’t even say goodnight or didn’t even give us a warning there was no signs anywhere regarding this matter after she told us she kept circling around we looked at other peoples fire pits and there were some that also had wood out the fire pit

Very well maintained campground. I wish it was actually next to an actual stream or river but it's got very good sites with fire pit and fire grill if needed (which I don't because I have my own wood burning stove) with two concrete picnic tables each. It was very peaceful and I got a lot of reading time in... Also nice people running the place. My second time staying there and definitely not my last.

What a wonderful site. Riley, the camp manager, was very helpful and kind. The coyote roaming the hills behind the campground, barked like a dog for hours. I found it hilarious, others not so much.

Took two of my grandsons to the picnic area. We played in the stream then had a nice little lunch. Was a very nice first experience for the both of us. The camp ground was full so plan ahead for a spot.
