Not the half price with the American Annual Card. See photo for the right cards.

Report Check-In

The half price is not with the American Annual possible.

Windy but barely anyone is here on a Sunday night. Lovely views and lots of space!

Price today is $12 per night and half price with America the Beautiful Pass. There are machines to pay and get dash receipts and a host that will come by and take discounts. Lake is low. Birds and views are wonderful. Easy for larger rigs her vs. Old Isabella which is pretty steep 4x4 area close by.

Just got here, was under the impression we could use the america the beautiful pass and stay for free. Got a knock on our trailer by the camp host, apparently 2 years ago they stopped doing that. $12 for a day or $6 for senior citizen.

really nice spot! we have the america the beautiful annual pass, but no one asked to check it or for payment. we stayed two nights and both nights it wasn't so busy that we couldn't have decent space from others. bathrooms really clean, no other amenities. also great service, I worked remotely with video chats without issue. also very windy, no cover at all.

great spot, the staff were super nice and charged us half price because we had the Annual National Park Pass... so $6 only! and once you checkin there, you can drive 5min down the road and use the hot shower from one of their other camp which was great!
it was extremely windy when we were there but nice scenery!

Amazing....spending my second night here now. Beautiful views, tons and tons of space and lakefront camping for free with your interagency pass! Come thru!

Report Check-In

As described. Open. Several rigs present. Plenty of room for dozens more. Senior Pass makes it free, but instructions are unclear as to whether you have to obtain a permit from a FS office prior to camping. I didn't. Will post again if there is an issue. Windy, beautiful, and free.

It’s open, there are several campsites and the entrances are clearly marked with Forest Service signs: Auxillary Dam, Old Isabella (with dump station), Red’s Marine and South Fork. Where it’s closed up, that’s just simply not the entrance. All are free with America the beautiful pass, otherwise $10. Paradise Cove is more developed and costs $30.

This place seems closed. Lake access road is gated.

Great little spot. We arrived late at night and it was a little hard to see but found a great spot right on the lake

Report Check-In

Great camp spot. Some noise from the quarry across the street. Free with America the beautiful pass. $10 usd otherwise

Report Check-In

Only a few scattered tents here in early March. We camped in our 23 ft RV and it was great! Plenty of room for parking on the packed sand right next to the lake. It got really windy during the night. Stone fire rings in many places. 👍

Stayed for a night, windy but ok. Dumpstation was open with non-portable water

Place de rêve bord de lac et désert dans le même endroit gratuit avec passe national park

Nice place on the open! A little windy! Nice view of the mountains and lake!

Hello
Yes, with rhe card "America the beautifull" it's free.
You have drinking water and restroom, the dump station is out of order.
During the day you have the noise of workers with trucks on the other side of the lake, but it's not loud.
Quiet night and nice wiew.
Enjoy.

It’s actually a free campground since nobody cares about collecting fees. Restrooms are clean but far away from the lake shore.
Good T-mobile reception. Good place for a night.

Nice views, not crowded this time of year, but very windy. Built a cool fire pit here. Downtown close by for groceries.

IT is free with America the Beautiful Annual Pass. Nice place

Report Check-In

beautiful place near the lake, a lot of space, we did it without problem with our 24' 2wd motorhome and parked near the water. A lot of wind in the afternoon. There is a dump station with potable water in the entrance (10$ which you should put in an envelope).

Report Check-In

We found this place too windy so left for Sandy flat.

Report Check-In

Nice location overlooking the lake. Lakeshore is packed, but you find easily a spot in one of the road bays up the slope and closer to the facility blocks (running water and toilets). Main road close by ( somewhat noisy). Still free if you do have the annual pass for the National Parks.

Free with the America the Beautiful pass. Lots of space on the beach, it was ok with our van 2W. Made a nice fire at night on the beach.
