Incredible campground with some massive sites. Renting a boat at the marina across the way was a great way to spend one of the days. My only complaint is that over memorial day weekend there was a group of local teens partying pretty hard until 2-3am every night and I expect the camp host to proactively address campers that are being excessively disruptive.

Amazing campsite C42 next to the lake. Great experience even if it was just for one night.

I'm a TENT camper (down with RV's!) (sorry)Tannery Gulch is without doubt, the greatest tent camping site ever created on GGE (God's Green Earth). The sites are generally YUUUUGE. For example my preferred site has room (and actual pads) for 3 (yes, three) tents. Other sites do too. So much luxurious elbow room you'll feel like a king! Each site nestled within beautiful tall trees means SHADE galore! Yes, you can use your campsite all. day.long! Ground foliage is adequate providing decent privacy at minority of sites (you have to know which ones), majority are rather bare and exposed. If exposure doesn't bother you, don't sweat it. I like neighbors.One large qualifier: generally, the lake is full or close to full only briefly during the season. The water is always there, but when low rather ugly look. Not a big deal to me. The water is always super warm and inviting; and, at Tannery finger, smooth as glass for water skiers. Sadly, only Whiskeytown is perpetually kept full (with Trinity's water!, so unfair!) with resultant beauty. But campgrounds at Whisky are truly pathetic, run down, rocky, crooked, and small.I generally don't like giving away secrets, but if you're a tent camper I just dropped the Mother of All Secrets. Tannery = Heaven.
