B8 - Lake View
The place and the location is extra ordinary. Toilets are clean and well taken care of. However, we arrived in the middle of the night spent a lot of time to find our spot as this was our first time. I believe signs of the areas could be lighten up, at least a little. Other than that, definitely 5 starts, and that bridge detail is also terrific.

T14 - Lakefront Haven
Nice place to camping
No shower. I would like to take shower and to get the water it was to far..

T5 - Waterfront at Finnon Point
Very nice fishing lake tucked in the mountains of Placerville. It’s a little crazy getting here, as the easier of the two ways to get here is currently closed. Tons of shade, serenity, and star filled nights… Gets cold at night so act accordingly!

A7 - Waterfront
The site was beautiful and super clean. One of my favorite campsites I’ve been too. We are already planning a trip to come back!

T14 - Lakefront Haven
Great retreat
Very nice campground! Clean restrooms, sell maintained camp area, beautiful lake with clear water. I went on 3 weekdays and there was only one other camper there, but weekends apparently get crowded.
Site T14 is more private than some others since it's at one end of the group.
Most sites slope towards the lake edge, so tent placement is a bit tricky.
Drive the Rock Creek Road carefully -- there's lots of city slickers pretending to be race drivers.
Heartily recommended.

A13 - Waterfront
A13 is a beautiful and peaceful campsite, tucked away on the left side of the lake, offering plenty of privacy and tranquility. When we visited, there were only a couple of other campers, which made it feel like we had the whole area to ourselves. The lake, though a bit chilly, was refreshing in the summer sun, and even my 2 year old enjoyed it. The restrooms were impressively clean, and the overall surroundings were stunning, making it one of the most picturesque places we’ve ever camped.
However, the site itself had some drawbacks. The spot was quite uneven, making it hard to find a flat surface for our tents. There was also little separation between neighbors, which could be a downside if the campground is busier. The road to get there was a bit challenging, especially if you take Mosquito Road, which we’d recommend skipping. Take the longer route instead—it’s worth it to avoid the narrow bridge and fully enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
