Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights2 sites open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
The reservoir itself covers roughly 1,615 acres and is the focal point for most daytime activity: anglers chase trout and kokanee salmon, while boaters, swimmers and water-skiers take advantage of long summer days on the water. 5-mile Lakeshore Trail loops around the lake and is open to hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders; that trail also links to the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail for longer backcountry excursions.

Length limits vary by campsite.

“The camp site was listed as a site for a large tent. Upon arrival the site we had did not have a space large enough for our tent... and on a good slop. Very beautiful and peaceful. Would camp here again. But will make sure the camp site is flat! :)”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (3,293 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
