Book through the official reservation site linked on this page well ahead of summer weekends.

The surrounding country supports the classic from the Sierra to the Pacific mix of outdoor recreation, and anglers will find largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass, trout, catfish, crappie and striped bass in nearby waters.

Check the weather and any fire restrictions before you go, carry plenty of water, and be bear- and wildlife-aware where applicable. Cell service is often limited at campgrounds — download maps and tell someone your plans.

Practice Leave No Trace: pack out all trash, keep a clean site, and store food securely where wildlife is present. Observe posted quiet hours, fire restrictions and pet rules — campfire bans are common in dry summer months.

Reserve early for summer weekends and holidays, or arrive midday on a weekday for first-come sites. Bring layers, a headlamp, and your own water if potability isn't confirmed, and double-check the rig-length and hookup situation before towing in.
