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.

I love this place! 💜 Wish it would never change. Pete and Kay have been careful stewards of this peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of city life for 27 years. (👌Thanks for your dedicated service!) María and her husband will be taking the reins in fall 2021 and we hope the transition won't disappoint. It provides clean and serene at Morningstar in the wilderness of Big Reservoir. Make your reservation early if you want to be sure of a quiet spot. A few miles before reaching the camp office, there is an area dedicated to motorized pleasure vehicles but the lake is wake free - paddles only! The fall of night here yields spectacular star gazing opportunity. And the fish do bite! Be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen, some binoculars, a bit of bug spray, and ear buds (for downloaded music or media as it's totally off grid). Help keep it wonderful by respecting the grounds and co-campers. We appreciate it as repeat visitors. And prepare to be wowed by it's beauty. 💜💜💜💫

Absolutely the worst place to go! Been here twice and both times never made it through the entrance. First time the guy was so rude for no reason we turned around. This time the girl shut the gate on us yelling at us that 5mph was too fast (we weren't even kicking up dust). When we stopped and got cash out to pay she continued to be rude and kept walking away saying its private property and its her house while we kept trying to pay to stay. It was as if she had something better to do and didn't want visitors on the lake. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. And from all the reviews it looks like I'm not the only one who thinks the owners are rude and unwelcoming. Stay away unless you want to deal with disrespectful owners! Wasn't worth my time or money! Not something my 3 children need to be around.
