I hiked up the slope to the group camp area where the American flag fly's. The next day I went the other way over to the Oak Knoll Campground, which is closed. I was able to hike to the main launch ramp, partly via the paved road as the bank got to steep, and past to a gravel trail that when taking the right fork takes you back to the campground. Take good shoes as there are some rough spots. I hiked both ways from my campsite around the lake along the waters edge. It's hard to tell if a site is level or not on the reservation site. Be ready to level your rig unless you get one of the few level ones. Lots of longer sites than mine but lots of them aren't level. Plenty of room to get my 28' Class C into the park. Site 15 has a nice view of the lake, though it would be better if the lake were fuller. Some sites have shade trees, others like mine didn't. They must have been OK with that as they didn't bother me. I had a printed copy of my reservation that I put in the drivers window which they looked at. No one was at the entrance station but the ranger did make a couple of tours through the campground and checked on my reservation. I noticed lots of sites were reserved for the weekend. I arrived Sunday afternoon after the weekend crowd left and left on Thursday ahead of their arrival. Even with roughly a dozen others camping, there was plenty of room for all. Half of the campground was closed due to being off season. There is a dump station that can handle 2 rigs at the same time. Low cost, reduced with America the Beautiful pass, was also a deciding factor. I wanted to get away and didn't want any hookups. Lake was understandably low due to drought, but that's not why I went.
