The gate staff was perfect. We had some last minute changes and they accommodated every request. The grounds were clean and the view was perfect.
@TiffanyT2EB3FE · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #26
Had a great stay, everything was clean including a nice beach, basketball court, and volleyball court. My only complaints are the lack of cell service which was made very clear beforehand, and the one way road we had to travel around to get back to camp. I would definitely stay again, the pros outweigh any cons.

@BristolL32E739 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #43
Awesome place to camp. Only thing that could be a little better is phone reception.

Clean, friendly.
@JohnG7676070 · Camped on May 11, 2025 at Campsite #28
Perfectly quiet. Site #28 is quite large, no close neighbors on either side, perfectly level and long enough to accommodate any rig. Easy back-in. Lots of deer. Zero cell service (Verizon), zero over-the-air tv. Waist high water connection. Definitely recommended.
@GeraldB9841077 · Camped on May 10, 2025 at Campsite #16
We camped at site #16 with full hookups . Site was easy to back into. Lowered hitch down on 32ft travel trailer and it was perfectly leveled. Staff and other campers were very friendly. Bath houses were very clean.
@PamelaH2776456 · Camped on May 9, 2025 at Campsite #26
This place is family friendly and the only place we go. Staff is friendly just wished it offered wifi and more 50amp sites.
@RogerJFEB15D66 · Camped on May 9, 2025 at Campsite #66
Enjoyed our location but had trenches from rain runoff. It was like that the month before when we had the same spot.

@DeWayneM530111 · Camped on May 9, 2025 at Campsite #91
One of the best siites in the campground. Big, shady, lake view.land not on top of everyone else.
@KathyK8671542 · Camped on May 8, 2025 at Campsite #81
Phenomenal view from our site! Clean campground with lovely water & Mountain Views. Site was perfectly level and large enough to get around. Water access down a hill was a plus for fishing. Very busy road is only negative
@MattF1509261 · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #67
The campground is very nice but lot 67 has a steep dropoff behind it and doesn't have good access to the water. There are other lots that have better access to the water. I have AT&T and had service cut in and out. I don't mind not having service while camping but I'm just mentioning it for those who would have an issue. The staff at the check-in was very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to returning to this campground
@DanitaH9D9204D · Camped on Apr 30, 2025 at Campsite #48
Such a beautiful park. Lots of water frontage campsites! So quiet and peaceful.
@scotd428C59077 · Camped on Apr 25, 2025 at Campsite #112
Only complaint is they took the benches out of the shower so there was nowhere to set your dry clothes when you were taking a shower
@johnnieg56CF7C · Camped on Apr 24, 2025 at Campsite #134

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
