This is a great place to camp in the off-season. I'm sure it is great in the summer also, but very crowded. We camped here in October as well as again this February. The nights are brisk but the days are lovely, especially in the sun. We have camped in the middle of the park with full hook-ups, but there is very little privacy in that part of the park. This time we camped in the "Premium RV Sites" down by the river. It was lovely and quiet, with only a few other trailers. These sites are shaded most of the day, so the trailer stayed a little on the chilly side. The general store is well stocked and laundryroom/restrooms are clean and functioning. The campground is easy to maneuver around. Hwy 116 can be a bit winding and tight, but experienced drivers won't have an issue. I highly recommend this campground to anyone, but especially families with youngsters.

This will be our go-to family campground for years to come! It was a perfect lake for the paddle boards and there is a great little beach for the kids.

We went mid week and the campground was not crowded at all. The sites that are single digit and low teens are either on the water or have a lake view with a short walk to the water. There is absolutely no cell reception, which I found to be a major plus.

The campground was clean and quiet, and the facilities were well-maintained. Oh, and definitely don’t follow Apple Maps to the lake. It will take you through tiny residential streets. Take Highway 20 all the way up to Scott’s Flat Rd.

This is a great little campground if you can get a spot. It is booked year round but we got a spot due to a last minute cancelation. Our site was spacious and we did not feel crowded in despite having neighbors on each side. This is a very dog-friendly campground, they even have an off-leash dog beach along the jetty campground. A word of warning though, the dump station is a bit tight to maneuver in an out of. We have a toy hauler and some of the tree branches were a bit low and the turns were tight for a 27' trailer.

The pros: ease of access to 101; the other campers are quiet and respectful; the restrooms are clean enough; security does nightly rounds.

The cons: lots of environmental noise (freeway, surface streets); there is always low-key an odor of sewage through out the grounds; sites are are extremely narrow and rows are difficult to navigate due to sheer number of rigs; you have to park your truck in your patio to fit; the gal that works the office is rude and impatient if she has to do literally anything.

I would say 90% of the sites are occupied by full-time residents, most appear to work for PGE. Their rigs are nice and most spots are well kept. The RV marked “camp host” had trash piled up in the windows that gave the appearance that trash was stacked to the ceiling.

This is definitely not a place to camp, more of a place to stay on the way overnight on the way to somewhere else. There is nothing to offer if you are traveling with a family. The nearby park is full of homeless people.

Bottom line, we stayed there for two nights for an event in Santa Rosa in lieu of getting a hotel room. I would only stay here again if I had no other choice. It served its purpose, and that’s about it.
