Of all the campgrounds on trinity lake, this one is probbaly my favorite. It isn't a great spot if you have a massive trailer but for tents, I think it is perfect. Unfortunately, they don't have any cell phone service for basically, any provider which is fair given its location. The bathrooms in this campsite are actually pretty well maintained, though there was an instance of one continuously flushing for about two days straight. Nice location next to bowerman boat launch and some nice creek walking opportunities.

Was absolutely beautiful weather and scenery and an excellent birthday stay! Was fathers day weekend and expected it to be packed and loud ; COMPLETE OPPOSITE! So quiet and peaceful, latest and loudest noise i heard was them closing the gates at night and it was FAR off in the distance. Basically 2 nights we had the whole loop to our selves (minus an elderly couple in a trailer above our spot). Could not have asked for more! Camp sites were taken care of and bathrooms were better than previous places i have stayed at.

Had an amazing time with my friends last year here. Not much water when we went, but they have water spouts. Bathrooms were a bit sketchy, so I'd recommend a good Toiletries kit. Pretty somewhat dispersed campsites, but we were the only ones there, so take that with a grain of salt. No bear locker, be aware.
