Overall beautiful campground and the reservoir is lovely. Definitely check out the trail that goes around the lake. It’s about 4.3 miles and not too difficult but very pretty. The only downsides are that most campsites are pretty much full sun now that they’ve logged the area, and the water that comes out of the pump is literally orange and tastes like metal. We ended up just filtering Creek water and it tasted much better. Bring your own water for sure and something to create shade.

The lake and views are great however some of the campsites are very narrow and many are in areas where trees are clear cut (because of a tree disease) with tree limbs and sticks spread around. Even burn spots where the forest service burned some of the smaller trees and major branches. Our reserved sites
we’re horrible, so we moved to Hollywood campground (a first come fist served one). We found one site near the lake and one across the drive. A friend and I revisited this area after some 30 years finding camp site improvements with asphalt paved roads and site pads in the campground and a paved road around the lake. Also several camp sites have been added… it is a popular place. We fly fished for the better part of a day and a half in our pontoon boats and were disappointed… the fish were scarce.

This campground has been ruined by the logging to remove tussock moth infestation. There's no shade and most of the larger trees have been cut. No fault of the Forest Service but it's going to be decades before this campground is worth visiting again. Not to mention the low reservoir levels due to the drawdown for irrigation and the campground host allowing half a dozen kids to use the site as a four-wheeler race course (obnoxious), this stay was dreadful. Ended up moving to an entirely different campground and got lucky with an available site that hadn't been reserved. Do not stay here!

This site is not a campable site. All of the trees have been cut down and are laying in the site. Luckily we were able to find a first come first serve because this spot is not usable.

Sagehen is a nice reservoir for swimming, or floating. Camp host is awesome! Only down side is a lot of trees have come down recently, so some spots are more open and sunny compared to previous years.

The campground was a little disappointing as cows run all over and cow poop was everywhere. Additionally, unfortunately with the moth infestation the trees are all damaged making it unsightly and the caterpillars were everywhere, falling and crawling all over us. Being there with family altogether was great.
