The camp host for 2022 is awesome. We had a bad experience 2 years ago with Outdoors in Plumas, but when we pulled in this year, we were greeted warmly and reassigned to our favorite waterfront site. The gal who helped us was funny, hard-working and so, so helpful. Wish we had gotten her name. Sundew is a great campground, and so much better with a good host.

Beautiful little CG The host(ess) there really goes to every length to help out campers. Pretty area with lots of wildflowers and opportunities to observe wildlife. I'm not a motor boat person so weekdays are best for avoiding the motorboats/party boats.

We didn’t have water so I feel we should be refunded some money because it’s already over priced
