We had a great time at this campground! Stayed in site 17. The site had a picnic table, BBQ, and fire pit. This site is directly across from one of the pit toilet facilities. The toilets were decently clean and well stocked with tp. The site was also decently clean. Much of site 17 is unshaded so if you’re visiting during warmer months maybe bring a pop up shelter for over the picnic table!

Very solid campground. About a 10 minute drive to gas stations/restaurants, so this is an ideal spot if you want an easy nature getaway while still being close to civilization. The sites were all pretty different, I would definitely choose one deeper into the campground. We stayed at site #20 and it was especially nice because we had our own oak tree, however the ground was a bit uneven. They all... Very solid campground.

The bathrooms were as clean as I’ve seen for pit toilets, and there was plenty of toilet paper. The hiking trail behind the campground is also quite nice, very well maintained and offers California landscape views of rolling hills, a lake and a vineyard.

We enjoyed our long weekend stay here. It's a lovely campsite with a very friendly camp host, but it's in desperate need of some TLC. The picnic table sets are old and most are damaged with peeling paint and splinters, the grills are old and some are missing or broken. They could also do with better signposts on the road - we had to guess that we were in the right place. And Google maps does not h... We enjoyed our long weekend stay here.
