This a a beautiful campground. We were in site 33. There was a great view of Trinity lake. The site was clean, not dusty. It was a large site, plenty of flat places to pitch a tent. There was good tree cover which kept the temperatures down. The bathrooms were close and clean. We went at the end of the season, mid week,so it was very quiet. We were able to swim in Trinity lake. I would highly recommend the campground and our specific campsite.

It's always clean, the sites have room in between, and the lake is only steps away. We have been here many times and will be back again.

Great spot. Our site was pretty sloped but had a perfect trail to the water

Beautiful campsites well kept and clean. My truck even had a dead battery and the person who takes care of the area came and helped us with no hesitation was very friendly. I will definitely take my family back. I'm giving it five stars because they can't control it but the water entrance to go swimming was extremely muddy but there's nothing that anybody can do about that. Overall one of the nicest campsites on Trinity lake
