Stayed two nights... the lakefront camp is $55 a night excluding fishing. You can't swim as the water is dirty and full of algae. There's no phone reception until you drive back down to Foresthill. There are only two water faucets away from camp and you can't wash your dishes at all. Very inconvenient to unload going up and down stairs. Fire pit is EXTREMELY dangerous, as it is inside the ground with the metal edges sticking out, not kid friendly. The STAFF is rude, very unprofessional and not pleasant at all!!! There is a skinny woman who looks like a zombie on METH who harrassed us simply for having our fishing poles out and started yelling to guve her $15... we put them back in the truck a half hour later the creepy old man came and interrupted our dinner yelling that we should have paide the extra money although we did nit fish at all. Will definitely not go back. Regular "campgrounds" looks like a unshaved dirty homeless camp.

I can see why the reviews are so bad for this place, the old crotchety camp host at the gate was super rude. He walked up to my car and my dog alerted me he was bad news by growling and she never growls. He gave me directions to the office to pay for day use then changed his mind all of a sudden, telling me that dogs arent allowed on the beach. If thats true they should have it in writing somewhere. He's just the type of old grump that likes the little bit of power he gets with his position, super disappointed this looked like a nice area.

The worst place ever. The staff is crazy rude. Insane! The host are old evil men. They change you for every step. They ruined our day at all. We had to buy a camp site for $50 per day and $25 deposit for dog( you will never get it back) and $8 dog just because they don’t allowed dogs on day pass and you can’t know it before you are there. They control you every time and check up every ten min, you always do something wrong, it feels like they imagining new rules every 5 min. you are never relax. Never come back. Only women in the office was nice.

We were here on Memorial Day weekend. The camping was great and there were a lot of empty spaces available. Brand new picnic benches everywhere are a great upgrade this year!

Similar experience to other reviewers here. In June 2021 their staff were extremely rude to us. It's a beautiful spot. But unless they start training their staff on how to deal with the public we won't be back.
