Spring hits the 4.5/5 seasonal peak: mild temps, wildflowers, lighter crowds, and snowmelt keeping the coves full. Pack in all your drinking water and bring serious bug repellent
No potable water on site, no showers, no food lockers, and reviewers flag real privacy issues between sites. At $35/night for vault toilets and neighbors within earshot, campers expecting comfort or solitude will leave frustrated.

Spring delivers mild days between 60 and 80°F with cool nights in the 40s and 50s. Snowmelt raises lake levels through spring, improving boat access and filling coves for fishing and swimming. Wildflowers peak and hillsides turn green. Crowds stay lighter than summer weekends. Summer heats up to 85-100°F during the day, then cools to 60-70°F at night. Good for water sports but expect mosquitoes. Winter brings 30-50°F days and 26-60 inches of rain annually, keeping the reservoir full. Storms can be dramatic. Lake levels drop by late summer and fall.
Reviews strongly prefer spring: mild temps and higher lake levels improve boating and fishing.
