I had a fantastic experience camping at the Glory Hole Recreation Area, specifically at the walk-in sites at the end of Iron Horse. These sites are on a peninsula, offering incredible 360-degree views of Lake Melones, which makes for breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. The sites are spacious, and depending on where you land in the loop, you'll enjoy a nice level of privacy. We DID go in February, so not sure how things change when it's peak season. The amenities were basic but convenient. The bathrooms were close by, and there was a water spigot right at the start of the walk-in sites, which was super helpful.One of the best parts of our trip was that the campground is pet-friendly. It was our first time camping with our dogs, and the peaceful atmosphere made it perfect for them. We were able to tie them to a couple of trees using long leads, and they had a blast running around the grassy areas and lounging with us at the campsite. It really made the experience feel more special, and they loved it!The peacefulness of the area really added to the experience, and I can definitely see myself returning in the future. It would be even more fun to bring along a couple of other families to stay in the walk-in sites together. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a serene camping experience with gorgeous lake views, and especially if you're camping with pets!
