We had a perfect spot. The only downfall was the reservoir is lowered, I think the ranger said end of July so while our spot was suppose to be right on the lake it was actually right on a mud bank and the lake was quite a bit away. Not close enough for a handicap person to walk to. However, the weather was perfect and it was a very relaxing place.

The park is well maintained by the county, clean and monitored every hour. The camp host was awesome! The resevoir is extremely low so what used to be waterfront sites are no longer. On the flip side, we reserved a 40 ft spot as we are a big 5th wheel and dully truck, in total about 57 ft long. This is NOT big rig friendly although its advertised as such. The site was a "pull thru" but you had to turn around in a tiny area to be able to pull thru on the correct side. The sites have huge rocks used for parameters which gives you very little room and the actual site is not straight, its curved. Try pulling a 40 ft 5th wheel into a curved spot with big rocks on the sides ... not fun. The website should be updated and adjusted for what the park can accommodate. 30 ft rigs or smaller will do much better at this location than big rigs.

Make sure if you are thinking of purchasing a yearly pass that you don't do it after you purchased the daily passes. They will not apply what was not used towards the yearly pass. Makes no sense when they are getting your money no matter what. Rude people and not at all willing to work with you.

Is it open on july 2020?

Lluvia Mia | Oct 17, 2020
Shea Hurr | Oct 17, 2020

The campground is open but you'll need to make reservations in advance. For day use they are only letting in enough people to fill up the picnic tables then they usually close it off. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.
