This is one of my favorite campsites. This site seems to attract quite and respectful campers. All sites are a short walk to the lake. There is a nice paved path around most of the lake. The camp host was friendly.

Great spot. Water level was VERY low, but that just gave us more space to hike on the exposed lakebed. Facilities were super clean and well stocked. Two ways to drive in — I strongly recommend Foresthill to Sugar Pine Road. The Iowa Hill drive is sketchy, with lots of blind hairpins and narrow roads.
This is my second time staying here and it won’t be my last.

Special site! Some cons are the closeness to the highway and maybe not the fanciest bathroom facilities. But wow, camping right next to the creek was insanely cool!

great campsite with a beautiful spot right on the river, the vault toilets are nice, the whole camp is well kept, we had a great time, and I’d love to come back to site 12 in particular, so highly recommend!

The onsite map of the campground indicates flush toilets although there are only vault toilets. Could not use the vault toilets due to the intense amount of ammonia gases from the fermenting human waste. There is not potable water as the faucets are all turned off due to some kind of toxic bacteria issue.
