We visited in 2012: so a while back but it was an oasis with good space in between sites. The kids played in the water. We had a very good tome over there with a 26’ motorhome.
Best regards

$37 (price reflects site fee + $9 per day extra fee) which is expensive for dry camping
Trails for hiking or mountains biking, swim beach, kayaking/boating — lots to do here.
Our site was large, but bordered the semi-busy entrance road, which could be noisy. They also used flood-irrigation one day, which put the whole back half of our site under a few inches of water for a few days (it did not impact our camping at all.)
The showers are FREE now. We did not use them, but they appeared well-kept.
Verizon was spotty. 3 bars 4G when working.
Critters Spotted: a zillion baby toads, great horned owls, great blue heron, deer, osprey
Camping options include a large site, shower, restroom, fire ring, picnic table and water nearby. Highline Lake is within walking distance. Trails give you the opportunity to see wildlife, enjoy a vigorous walk or bike ride.
Bring a fishing pole, a good book or your camera to enjoy your time.
