Learn more about alerts →Spring weekday campers chasing trout, bass, or just quiet oak woodland will find the best version of this place: mild temps, higher lake levels, two boat launches nearby, and deer at dusk nearly guaranteed. Sentiment from recent visitors is trending up.
Dirty bathrooms are the most consistent complaint here, and the 45-minute haul to Cool for supplies is real. Sites like #43 sit far from facilities, and no electric hookups means comfort-focused RV campers will be working hard for a mediocre site.

Spring delivers the best camping conditions, with daytime highs between 55-75°F and higher water levels from Sierra snowmelt that make the river channels scenic and active for boating. Wildflowers line the trails, oak woodlands stay green and shady, and fishing picks up. Weekdays remain quiet; weekends draw more day-users from nearby communities. Summer heat climbs above 100°F, turning mornings and late afternoons into the only comfortable times for hiking. Winter brings cool, damp conditions with fog rolling through from the Central Valley. Fall offers warm days and crisp nights, though water levels drop as summer releases taper off.
Spring cited as best: 55–75°F, higher water levels, wildflowers and active wildlife/boating.
