Excellent campground. The cleanest restrooms I've ever used in a campground thanks to the camp host who come by to clean it everyday. We had sites 6,7 and 8 for our family. We wanted to us site 7 for our main camp kitchen and canopy set up but the fire ring is too close to the trees for comfort. We ended up using site 6 for or main kitchen site up Sites 6 and 7 direct paths to the lake the trail t... Excellent campground.

We ended up using site 6 for or main kitchen site up Sites 6 and 7 direct paths to the lake the trail that leads to Graham campground and other trails. This lead to many people walking by and sometimes going through our campsites unfortunately. There is cell service here Tmobile ,Verizon, and Google Fi to name a few who had it. My family enjoyed it here

A beautiful well-maintained campground on the shores of Vallecito Lake. The camp host does a wonderful job of keeping it clean and well maintained. We definitely recommend coming here. There is good cell service if you need to be connected.
