Pretty nice campground to enjoy water activities on the lake, as well as some nearby hiking. The Diablo Lake trailhead is only 10 minutes driving and has good views of the lake and the dam. The campground has plenty of spots, but they vary significantly on size, some can only accommodate one small tent, while others have room for both a large tent and a small one. All spots have a dining table and... Pretty nice campground to enjoy water activities on the lake, as well as some nearby hiking.

All spots have a dining table and fire pit, though fires are no longer allowed. The restroom is top notch, has running water and flushing toilets, magical! All in all, a great campground to relax and enjoy nature.

This campsite is amazing! We had no reservations and were relying on cancellations. We were blessed that weekend. Moved 3 times to different campsites that became available for that day. Rangers Wendy and Christine were awesome as well as the gentleman that opened up the camp for the day. No fees if you grab a cancelled site for the night. Please keep your food locked up either in your car or in s... This campsite is amazing! We had no reservations and were relying on cancellations. We were blessed that weekend.

Beautiful camp ground with a gorgeous lake. This place is by far one of my favorite places. The sites are all sorts of sizes so please check in advance with recreation.gov to make sure your site will be what you need. The trails here are very well maintained and so is the beach. The water is very cold, gets deep quickly and has some very strong currents so please wear a life jacket at all times. K... Beautiful camp ground with a gorgeous lake.

Kayak and sup users be aware of the wind it picks up quick and tends to blow hard.
