Great campground overall! Steve the Camp Host was very welcoming and friendly.

French Camp is a pleasant campground, close to so many recreational opportunities. A must-do is the hike on the Little Lakes Valley trail up Rock Creek Rd. I would advise to choose your site carefully and read the comments for each. Some of the sites are not very level, or are quite short. Site 17 worked out very well for our small trailer, and offered pretty good privacy from neighboring campers, and close proximity to a bathroom. The bathrooms were very clean and well maintained. Flush toilets and sinks!

I want to explain why my rating was POOR. We have been camping at French Camp for well over 45 years on Opening Weekend of Trout season (last weekend of April). We travel a long distance to get there. We understand that the first night that can be Reserved is the Friday night of that weekend. However, we arrive the day before (Thursday) every year. Normally, the campsite is on a First Come First Served basis, as your website states, and we are just fine with that. BUT, unannounced to anyone, the campsite host decided to lock the gate and we were all stuck with NOWHERE to go! If the website had, at least, announced that Frend Camp would be closed until the first date of our reservation we would have planned differently. POOR PLANNING and COMMUNICATION on the part of recreation.gov and the camp hosts at many of your managed camp facilities! = POOR RATING!!!

Campsites are big and the restrooms are consistently clean. The three hosts do a phenomenal job.

I have a 30 foot RV and site 17. It was a huge site with lots of room.

I will return again.

WHY, were we not informed in advance about the Ecoli Water problem? It would’ve been EASY for You to email in 1-2 day advance! This caused us HUGE- terrible problems as we have a 33’ rig. There should AT Least been a big warning sign at/before the entry to suggest other water use at other camps! Poor management & major problems for hundreds of campers from June 3-16.... ridiculous!!!!! New hosts from Utah were very nice & worked hard!
