There's a pay kiosk as you pull into the campground...pay for your dry camping or hookup spot and then, if you want the really good dry camping (which is closer to boondocking), immediately turn left, south, and drive up a gravel road to the south side of the lake. Keep the boat launch far to your right to find the correct road. There are about four or five really nice spots which you will see along the shore. The other dry camping is to the right, North, and sits amongst the hookup spots. These pitches are very much like an RV park, side by side--whether you have a hookup or not. But the lake is pretty and if you come when I did there was hardly anybody here. (A Thursday night in late April) My site quality rating was for the North camping area.

We chose to stay in one of the sites with power and water $40 a night. $20 for no power and water. Nice level sites close to the lake. April 1 2022 only 3 sites occupied. Flush toilets, free showers, nicely maintained. Free dump site. You can also camp around the lake ( primitive) on shoreline. I’ll be back with my kayak next time.

I really like the desert mountain scenery here. It is a 2 part campground - one area with just a pull in and no hook ups and the other with larger spots and hook ups. The rest rooms were clean. There is a boat launch. The water can get too much algae later in the year, so go early. There were lots of people fishing. We did a lot of paddling. You can check out my adventure on youtube.

Stopped here after crossing the Sierras from a South Lake Tahoe. The place was absolutely empty at the end of January but this year at least, the temps are really moderate (60's in the day, 40's at night). We had our pick of waterfront sites with great views of the mountains. My guess is this place is pretty packed during the rest of the year.

Stayed here one night while heading south. No one around. We were the only ones at the place. Power is still on but water is turned off for the winter. Beautiful location with the sunsetting over the mountains.
