Site 13 - Car Camping
For a quick 1 night stay as I was passing through, this was great. The car camping sites are very close together though. Luckily for me, no one was nearby. Unfortunately didn’t have time to check out more of the land, but maybe next time!

The magic
I found the magic in nature and the beautiful space they have created here. I loved everything from the outdoor hot showers to the kayaks on the lake. This space allowed me freedom to relax and soak in everything around me.

Sawmill Cabin
Found hipcamp gem!
I almost don’t want to share my review bc I want to keep this place a secret! It was a slice of paradise, so quiet with groomed trails and plenty of options for getting on the reservoir. Sawmill cabin was comfy, charming and perfect our needs. Mackenzie was super welcoming, we will bring more family back here soon.

Site 10 - Car Camping
Had a nice quiet night. One other camper here. They have a very nice little lake here with kayaks and canoes and honestly that makes this the reason to stay here. Grounds are well kept, host was super welcoming and nice and facilities were clean and nice. Recommend

Lakeside Camp
Lakeside Camp
Hosts were hospitable and helpful. I admire what Mackenzie is doing and hope she succeeds. The campsite I rented is poor value for the money. I was under the impression that we would have two kayaks by the lake near us to use and found out that was not the case when I arrived. They do have lots of kayaks for general use but we would have had to walk a ways in the extreme heat. It would have been a better value to stay at a smaller campsite on the property. There’s no trash disposal. Lakeside Camp is a bit of a hike to get to the parking lot. The upside is that it is pretty quiet at night and you can see lots of stars. Hosts will drive up iced water jugs for free and you can buy propane and ice. Be aware that there are lots of wasps in July so bring a screen room, swatter or other devices to keep them from swarming your food. There are two porta potties near Lakeside camp so you could use one for number 1 and the other for number 2. Hikers passing by can use them too, but we didn’t get too many people passing by. It was quiet enough that you could even change outside your tent.

Site 20 - Car Camping
Mendo Magic was an incredible spot. Great communication from the host Mackenzie. The site itself was ideal, with a nice little table and close to a tee for shade. We loved canoeing around the lake in the evening, and the path around the lake makes for a nice running trail. Outdoor shower was clean and great. We did not use the grills but the outdoor kitchen area looked well set up too.
