We had such a great time at this campsite! The area was beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for a weekend getaway with friends. The host, Mr.Jon was so kind and welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay, which we really appreciated. We enjoyed cooking together, hanging by the fire, and making memories. Definitely a memorable experience, and we’d love to come back again! 🏕️🌲✨

Relaxing but Bats in the Bathroom

24 ft travel trailer · Group trip ·

We loved our stay at Lily's Hideout. The space was large enough for our group of 8 with 3 cars, and had some great tree cover. We liked the proximity to the lake and had fun in the water. What could have been better: the lakeside was rocky & the water had sludge around the edge. Our major concern was the bathroom. It was consistently out of toilet paper, which was never refilled in one stall despite it being labor day weekend. Additionally, there were bats in the bathroom at night - like a lot of bats. It was unusable because of the bats. The door was propped open and they were flying around inside. There were bat droppings everywhere in the restroom that were not cleaned up during our entire stay. When you read flush toilets, you don't think you'll need to bring toilet paper and find a place to pee if there are too many bats around. If the door shut the bats could be locked out.

Pros: - Open and spacious site with good amount of shade - Decent short trails for walking - Hosts were nice and answered all our questions - Bathrooms were cleaner than expected and porta potties were clean too - Not a lot of bugs during the daytime - Weather was overall pretty good not too hot or cold Cons: - No hot water in the shower so we took cold showers - Bathrooms were a bit far from our site Overall: 4/5

John and his family and fluffy boys were very welcoming! They had a very nice property where the site i had was less than a minute walk from the lake that allows fishing and swimming! There are showers and ceramic toilets that were pretty clean as well. Would definitely come back!

We had a nice stay overall. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, and their dogs were a sweet bonus. Being so close to the reservoir was definitely the highlight—my dog absolutely loved swimming there, and the water was calm and relaxing. A few things could be improved. The campground seemed to struggle with maintenance over the Juneteenth weekend. The bathrooms were out of hand soap the entire stay, someone eventually put out shower gel instead, and the trash cans around the campground, bathrooms, and reservoir were overflowing. There were also a lot of tiny white flies, likely due to being near the water (or possibly the overflowing trash). It also seemed like there wasn't a curfew as both nights we were there, some of the campers were super loud past midnight. Firewood was $20 a bundle, which is the most we've paid while camping. It was a decent-sized pile, but still felt a bit expensive. One thing to note is that there was a generator running in the evenings. It's understandable since the property is somewhat off-grid, although we did have surprisingly strong cell service. Despite those issues, we enjoyed our stay and would consider coming back, especially because our dog had such a great time at the reservoir.

We had a wonderful time at Pepper’s spot, sites 10 and 11. Plenty of space for 4 people tent camping. The hosts were communicative and helpful. The fire wood delivery was so kind. There was a nice little trail hike around the reservoir and the beach at the reservoir was tons of fun. Will be coming back!

I LOVED this site! Hosts were so kind and welcoming. The site was beautiful and spacious - fire pit, table, and tons of space for our car and tent. The lake was beautiful, especially watching the sunset in the evening from the hill overlooking the lake. Can’t recommend this place enough!

AMAZING Campsite (#3)

Tent · With kids ·

Me and my group absolutely loved the open area and privacy. We were a big group and had nothing but space for our tents and things! The hosts were super friendly and helpful with every question we had! There is a lake about 5-10min from the site that is shallow enough for babies, docking for jumping and area for fishing ! Highly Recommended

This was a great quick camping trip! The hosts are incredibly kind and accommodating. Our fellow campers were friendly and quiet. We appreciated the cleanliness of the portapotties. The boat launch is about a 5 minute drive from the campsite- there is no direct reservoir access from the campsites. During our stay, there was no ice nor firewood for sale, however there is a shell gas station about a 20 minute drive away that we were able to get to easily. The showers were clean and warm. MAKE SURE TO DRIVE IN FROM HWY 4. Maps will take you on a “scenic route”, but highway 4 access via Copperopolis is much easier . Thank you to the hosts for everything!

This was my first time camping in a private land like this, and it was a great first experience! We were greeted by the hosts two dogs that were friendly. We went with a large group and we had ample space to pitch our tents and have lounging area. There were also porta potties near our site, but if you're not into that, they also had functioning toilets and showers at the entrance. There were also spigot waters so we were able to wash everything just fine. Right next to our site, there was a lake if you climbed a hill where I saw several other campers try and fish, my group also tried but no luck, maybe next time! The weather the time we went was bearable, not too hot and not too cold at night. Not that many bugs too! You can also buy firewood from the host if you happen to run out of some, otherwise I think the closest store is 20 minutes away. There's also no wildlife to worry about that I was aware of. Would definitely come here again if I get the chance!

Butterfly Woods (Site #3)

Tent · Group trip ·

My group of 12 stayed in site #3 and it was amazing. Initially I booked a different spot but after talking to the host, they advised me that site#3 would fit us better and they were absolutely right. It had enough room for 5 cars and 7 tents. That still left us a giant communal space in the middle for cooking, eating, and just hanging out. There’s trees surrounding the area, so there’s lots of shade. I was worried that there would be mosquitos since we’re so close to the water, but surprisingly there were none! There are port-a-potties throughout the campsites as well. Our site was directly in front of 2, but the downside to that is other campers who used it made a mess in them. But it’s okay, because there’s an actual bathroom with showers by the entrance. Only about 5 minutes walk from us, so that’s what we used. Would definitely come back.

John is an excellent host. Very friendly and helpful. We had the place to ourselves which was awesome. The culvert from the lake runs next to the campsites so it sounds lovely. There is water, a few trees and outhouse on site, making it very comfortable.

This is a small, quiet campground with a nice little campground area. There are campfires, and the lake is beautiful. It was full to the brim when I camped there. The campground is situated 60 feet below the dam. You can walk up a small trail to the water. There’s also a boat launch with a dock. If you’re looking for a peaceful spot to relax and unwind, this is the place to be.

We stayed at Site #3 and loved how spacious and private it felt! Since the entire loop area is part of our campsite, we were able to set up our tent away from other groups and really enjoy the peace and quiet. The flushing toilet was a huge plus (about a 5-minute walk), and there’s also a portable toilet option closer to the site. The only downside is the ground is pretty rocky, so I’d recommend bringing a thicker tarp or clearing the area before setting up. We also forgot firewood, but the host was super kind and we were able to buy some directly from him. He was very responsive and helpful even before booking. Bonus: the free shower and reservoir walk was pretty!

Clean, well-kept campground. Lots of space and privacy and short walk to reservoir swimming access! Closest proper hikes are 45m-1hr away. We had 10 people for two nights, and 4 dogs that got along well with the friendly host dogs.

Great Hosts, 9/10 Privacy, A+ Trip

I loved tent camping at this location, the hosts were very nice and accommodating when it came to us leaving multiple times throughout the day. They also had firewood available which they so kindly delivered to our campsite! The value was also good they gave me enough wood to keep the fire stoked for 5+ hours for 20$. The showers and bathrooms were a nice luxury they weren’t gold star but the water was hot and they were clean! The campsites were right next to the water front and there is a really private vibe to the campsites. I was lucky enough to go and be the only camper there and it was amazing! I definitely recommend, if your on the fence then go ahead and book, you won’t regret it!
