Heavy packers will curse the eighth-mile carry to the sites, and anyone squeamish about noseeums, mosquitoes, or the occasional rat near camp should know these aren't rare complaints. No hookups, no camp store, no laundry either.

Nestled between Blue Ridge and Cedar Roughs, east of the Napa Valley, Lake Berryessa offers year-round recreation opportunities. Lake Berryessa's water reaches temperatures of up to 75 degrees in the summer, making it an ideal place for water sports. Anglers enjoy fishing for both cold and warm water species, such as rainbow trout, bass, catfish, crappie, and bluegill. The Bureau of Reclamation provides two large day use areas (Oak Shores and Smittle Creek), Capell Cove launch ramp, and many smaller dispersed day use areas. There are Recreation Areas around the lake that are managed by concessionaires under contract with Reclamation and provide camping, day use and boating facilities. Contact the concession areas directly for information about amenities.

Open year-round, the campground welcomes visitors in every season, though spring and fall offer the most pleasant conditions for hiking and outdoor exploration. Summer brings warmth, humidity, and peak crowds, while the cooler months provide comfortable camping weather with fewer neighbors. For the most dramatic waterfall experience, plan your visit after rainy periods when the falls thunder to life—though even during drier times, the sinkhole's sheer depth and unique geology make it worth the trip.
Fall noted as one of the most pleasant seasons for hiking and exploration.
