This review do not pertain to the campground itself, but this is concerning to the management. We reserved ahead of time to a campsite closer to the water, paid online and got the email confirmation. We're excited and drove for about 3 hours, only to find out that the particular campsite (#49) has been occupied. We brought it up to the "host" and he says that he let a walk-in campers occupy the site because he "says" that the list that was provided to him that day says #49 is available. If this is indeed true, then, a clear issue regarding the communication within the management. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN! we were very frustrated and I hope that this will not happen again.

This is a very nice, well kept, and secluded campground. We had a great time, with easy access to the water for swimming and sailing. All but one of the restrooms were closed to conserve water, with either vault toilets or port-a-potties available throughout the rest of the campground. We packed water with us, but the drinking water spigots were on, as described on recreation.gov. Overall, a fantastic place to camp and well worth the drive.

Overall this is a scenic and quiet campground. We had beautiful views of the reservoir and mountains. There were a few things that made the visit less enjoyable. The bathrooms nearest to us were not functioning and they had portapottys instead. The reservoir level was pretty low because were in a drought. This meant that the walk down to the water line was pretty long and tricky. The road to the campground was long and winding but it was beautiful. The water lines were repaired so there was running water but it wasn't drinkable. Overall this is a really nice place to camp and it just needs some bathroom repairs and rain to fill the reservoir, not it's fault :-)
