Birders and trail cyclists will get the most out of this place. Over 150 documented species, 15+ miles of trails, and a Great Florida Birding Trail designation make it worth the drive. Spring mornings before the heat sets in are the prime window.
No showers on-site, US 441 traffic noise carries through every site after dark, and the horse flies are a real problem in warmer months. Tent campers should also know that sandy sites can make staking tricky without extra gear.

<A HREF="http://www.usbr.gov/dataweb/dams/ca82903.htm">O'Neill Dam and Forebay</a> are joint Federal-State facilities located on San Luis Creek 2.5 miles downstream from San Luis Dam. O'Neill Forebay Dam is a feature of the <A HREF="http://www.usbr.gov/dataweb/html/casanluis.html">Central Valley Project - San Joaquin Division - San Luis Unit</a>. The reservoir has a surface area of 2,250 acres and 14 miles of shoreline. The Park includes boating, camping, picnic facilities, fishing, hiking, and serves as a major family destination for many in the west central valley. Currently an expansion of the Maderos boat ramp facilities is underway, which will improve boat access and day use facilities.
The site is located about 10 miles west of Los Banos, California on CA Highway 152.

Spring delivers the sweet spot: daytime highs between 70 and 85°F, nights cooling to 55–65°F. Bass spawn during this window, drawing anglers. Wildflowers bloom along the pine flatwoods, and fresh green growth covers the cypress domes. Early mornings work best for birding before temperatures climb. Spring-break weekends and birding events draw moderate crowds. Summer brings afternoon thunderstorms and active insects, especially horse flies. Winter offers prime birding months with mild conditions. Year-round camping is possible, but pack serious bug spray and sunscreen regardless of season.
Peak season with warm weather, perfect for water activities. Book early.
