We came out here to visit our friend at Pine Flat and near the Island Park Campground. Central Valley come picnic for the day or want to get out of the city for a foothill stroll and views of the lake. If you are staying for the day, bring a canopy, a chair and enjoy lake life. Cheers!

Absolutely beautiful campground, the views were all amazing. Each campsite had a unique viewpoint. We stayed in 33 and it was a beautiful Mountain View. $20 for non-electric and 30 for electric sites.

So much I wished I'd know before booking a site here. First of, if you have a big rig know that to get to the campground you have to go down a one lane dirt road thats very curvy and steep and that you also have to leave that way too. Second, photos of sites online are deceiving. When I booked my spot it looked like it had plenty of shade. Yet, when I arrived in 100 degree heat, it was fully exp... So much I wished I'd know before booking a site here. First of, if you have a big rig know that to get to the campground you have to go down a one lane dirt road thats very curvy and steep and that you also have to leave that way too. Second, photos of sites online are deceiving. When I booked my spot it looked like it had plenty of shade. Yet, when I arrived in 100 degree heat, it was fully exposed to the sun. Also, some sites are not right next to where you park. You have to haul all your stuff down steep steps, which I didn't even bother with. Next, if you go for a spot with an electrical outlet be sure to ask how it works because there are a bunch of fuses in the box and since I wasn't sure how to use it I ended up not using it. That ledt me with $10 bucks down the drain and with no power left to my devices. If you know the area, then you probably know which spots are good and which are not. Mine was just bad. However, the lake is stunning, especially at night. So if you're good with risking the driving on the one-way hill and can get a spot by the lake, then go for it! Lastly, the mapping of this campground is awful. I drove around in circles, trying to figure out how to exit. Thankfully, I found a regular there who helped me out, but I was stunned to know the exit was just as risky as the road in and out of the place. I most likely will never stay here again, but it was definitely adventurous! One last note, be careful of shopping at the local stores in this area. The place I stopped at was selling expired food and drinks.

Stayed here M-F about two weeks ago with my son. Gorgeous views and really clean campsite (#21 is the site to get if you’re tenting it). Park volunteers were super friendly. Not sure how it is on weekends, but we were one of only 3 campsites occupied the entire week, so it was very peaceful. Bathrooms have showers, but make sure you use the one that keeps the door closed. The bathroom/shower at... Stayed here M-F about two weeks ago with my son.

Bathrooms have showers, but make sure you use the one that keeps the door closed. The bathroom/shower at top of hill left doors open so about a million bugs lay dead on the floor. Not a dealbreaker, though. The other bathroom was surprisingly clean. Will definitely camp here again!!

This place was amazing! The view was so beautiful and the campsite was great. The set up of the campsite had a decently clean picnic table, campfire set up and campsite spot for you tent. There is also a fish cleaning station that looks pretty decent as well. Pet friendly and bathrooms are not bad at all. Stayed for two nights and walked around the whole campsite. Great fishing spots too. There is... This place was amazing! The view was so beautiful and the campsite was great.

There is one store down the street called The I Forgot Store, or something like that. They have wood, fishing stuff, ice cream etc. Pretty convenient. Definitely will come back here to take advantage of the kayaks. Definitely recommend.
