“We always enjoy our stay at Loafers Bend West! The campsites and restrooms are always clean and the lake is so beautiful! ”
“Whitney Lake has excellent Army Corp camping but I didn't stay at this specific campground. What I do is donate money to Federal park services which offer complimentary camping by paying for reservations I don't use.”
