Was a nice campground.no electricity or showers just bathrooms.

SO LOUD. The location is very nice, with rolling hills and greenery. The staff also was so nice, can't say enough about them. Bathrooms clean and camp sites orderly. However, only come here if you want to listen to 4 different music being blasted all evening from neighbouring campsites. If that's your idea of camping, you'll love it. If you prefer being able to listen to... Well, anything but super loud music - and God forbid you want to get up early to travel on or get in an early hike -- then avoid this site like the plague. We've been traveling around camp sites in California/Nevada and never encountered anything like it. Can't recommend unfortunately. Perhaps they could designate some of the loops "no music" for those of us who are camping to get away, not join a disco?

Sparse, clean and quiet. Great high desert camping. Most spaces have flat parking for a van, truck camper or small trailer. Most spaces are pretty level. There are also a few semi-circular pull-through spaces suitable for small trailers with no unhooking from the tow vehicle. Very little shade so bring your own. It's always windy too. Stop as you check in and figure out the wind direction so you can pick a spot in the lee of the hills. Restrooms are clean with flush toilets and running cold water. No showers. None of the sites have hookups so it's dry camping only. I did not see any water spigots except the sinks in the restrooms. Location is right off I-5 and only about 70 miles or less from downtown L. A. Mid-April 2022 there were only about 4 other campers in the entire campground. From our site we could not see or hear the highway about a mile away. Though desolate, I would definitely stay here again when visiting L. A.

Nice desert park for car camping. No hikes nearby. Just the lake. Swimming isn't open until May. Boats for rent. The camp is very well maintained, but there's nothing to do but fish or sit around the fire. Parking at the lake is $12, even when there's no swimming. The parking lot at the lake is very confusing with one-way arrows crossing each other...

How far is the lake from camp sites? Any sites with shade? Do I need to worry about snakes?

Laura Jacques | Aug 28, 2019
Patricia Anaya | Aug 28, 2019

Hi Laura. The lake itself is about a 7 minute drive. There is some shade. I booked Loop One, camp site 2 and 4 had shade. Fyi, if you want to book camp sites next to each other you need to book 1 and 3 or 2 and 4. Counter intuitive.

What are the requirements for dogs and boats? vaccination paper for pets?

Brigitte Ingersoll | Aug 28, 2018
Mayang Lee | Aug 28, 2018

Pets should be on leashes and its better for peace of mind ,if you have all their shots especially bordatella if you are around other dogs .. all I know is that pets should be on leashes. They didnt ask for any vaccinations papers but I always bring it with me every time I travel with my dog Boats should be dry so not to contaminate the lake if you came from another lake But I'm not sure about the water updates in the lake .. last time I heard that it has that green algae but for sure give them a call on what's the update on that

chorizo56f100 | Aug 27, 2021

We were there March 5th. Campfires is all good to have. They have bundles of wood there to buy also for $7 a bundle.

Check in is at 2pm but can I arrive before to enjoy the lake before checking in at 2pm?

Jaz Aguilar | Aug 27, 2021
Jessie Moreno | Aug 27, 2021

Yes of course the camp site is separate from the Lake. The lake opens at 6 you just have to pay 12$

Looking to reserve a spot and recreation.gov says trailers up to 26'. However, pics look like the trailers are bigger and google earth appears that sites are fairly large. My camper is <32' when unfolded. Are the spots big enough to accommodate?

goldenviper gaming | Aug 27, 2021
Jen R | Aug 27, 2021

Yes that shouldn't be a issue,lots of space and they will accommodate you if any problems should come up like some sites are narrow so you can ask the hosts before heading in. they are very friendly..they could move you if they have have to to an opening on a falter site. Hopefully all goes well.👍
