They will nickel and dime you for everything. Campsites allow for two cars but they will only let you drive one car with the price of reservation. Second car is $20/day as if you're taking an extra space that someone else would've used. Have a pet? Pay up $7/day. Brought a paddle board? Pay up $3/day each! It really adds up and it shouldn't! And all of your excuses for these fees don't stand up to logic. Otherwise the lake is great.

Very beautiful. Lake is majestic. Lots of pines, very tall. Such a cool climate. You can go there and be with family. Just sitting on the bench and watching the lake suffice.. ❤️❤️❤️

We lucked out and got one of the best campsites ever. We were right on the water yet also had shade. The deer would come down in the morning to sip water in the lake. We love the waterfalls, even though they’re man-made and all of us enjoyed a cold plunge. We also were thrilled that we were so close to the water so we could throw out our paddle boards and other flotation devices. The campgrounds are kept very clean.

Sly Park is a beautiful campground. It was well maintained with sites right on the lake. We had a group site with bathrooms(vault) and its own dock. There are plenty of trees and we had no problem finding level spot for our tent. I highly recommend.

Beautiful place! But you have to pay for it. 😒 We reserved a lakeside campsite. $130 for two nights seemed a little expensive, but it cost us over $300 with all the extra fees! Extra vehicles, dog, canoes. $300 for two nights is ridiculous. This place is a cash cow for El Dorado Irrigation District.
