The last 2 miles to the campground is some challenge with a travel trailer but it was worth it .the hosts were the nicest we have met so far and we camped a lot this year with recreation.gov .our spot was great with view to the water

The campsite was quite nice however at the time of year we went (August) there were tons of yellow jackets which made it hard to cook or spend any time in the campsite. They also went into the bathrooms so unfortunately we didn’t get to use all the amenities. The reservoir was very pretty and the nearby hike to the other reservoir was nice too! Campsite #1, is next to the toilets, which got quite smelly!

Beautiful lake in a good location. Kayaking and camping in the area were great. Take water, none on site unless you stop at a facility a mile before you get to the campground, or filter the lake water.
