Crazy blond booth attendant. (Middle aged, short) 1. Didn't know that parking in the lot before entrance is not all 15 minutes. Sign says no overnight parking. Lied about it when asked with a stupid smirk on her face. 2. Failed to keep me safe when talking to her and waved traffic through instead of stopping it which is her job. 3. Question was how to enter Park on foot and not interested in driving around with a vehicle. Took several attempts to get that answer out of her. Try to upsell me on a $15 ticket and drive my car to the park. Conclusion: if you want to be condescended at a park, come here and ask for her.3pm, June 7th, 2022.

Wonderful campground. Very clean, multiple areas to access the lake and several great hikes. Local store right outside camp for small needs. We felt as though we had plenty of room in our site for our family. We camped in the Sierra area. The mosquitos were out and about so fair warning bring your repellent! The lake has several places to rent boats and places to fish. We took the waterfall hike with our family and it was perfect for elementary age kids. We drove down to the trail head in another days use area to make it more manageable. Looking forward to our next trip!

Questions & Answers

Wait are the reservations only for camping or do he have to make a reservation even though your not camping? And is it crowded there on fridays?

Mustafa Maki | Jun 10, 2021

Overnight camping is by reservation only. Day use is open to the public first come forst serve, but it fills up fast. If your not in the park by 10am you wont get in, during the weekend. There is a few other lakes abkut 15 to 20 mins further up the freeway. Ice House, or Union Valley Resevoir usually have more room.

Is it OK to turn up, rather than booking a campsite online? Does anyone know if the campsites are pet friendly? TIA

Emma Jarvis | Jun 11, 2019

You should call to make reservations. They book up months in advance.

Tony Prieto | Jun 10, 2020
Denny Radford | Jun 11, 2020

No, they also have tent sites, and family sites, group area. An equestrian area now is the time to go before the season hits and it just gets crazy with people.

Can you fish there?

ramon lucero | Jun 11, 2019
Denny Radford | Jun 12, 2019

Yes with a valid California fishing license. They have rainbow trout, smallmouth bass. The lake was just also recently stocked at the Maine boat launch. Anywhere along the first dam would be good fishing area. Don't forget to pay your $5 use fee at the park....
