Campgrounds are in alphabetical order. Below is an excerpt of comments about this campground found at this site:

"...The campground, adjacent to northern end of the Palisades Reservoir and located on a mountainside, is composed of three loops - A, B and C. Loops A and B can accommodate RVs and tents with many sites wide enough for a boat trailer. The camping sites in these loops are more open, some of which are terraced with tent pads. Some have a view of Palisades Reservoir. Loop C is restricted to tents and slide-in RVs. It is furthest up the mountainside with some sites having great views of the reservoir. The sites in this loop are heavily wooded - none are in the open. The campground is a boater's paradise, and as a result, it is very popular and full most weekends. It's a good idea to make reservations if camping on a weekend. The campground is loaded with berries, namely huckleberries, raspberries (in Loop C), serviceberries and snowberries. Although overall this is a very nice campground, Loop C is without a doubt the nicest of the three loops. Except for Loop C, privacy between sites is minimal to fair. The parking aprons are gravel...

... There is an RV waste station 1 mile west of the campground on US Rt. 26 at the Riverside Park campground (Palisades Dam Power Plant). There is no fee and no potable water...

...Palisades Reservoir is 1.2 million acres. The reservoir is used for irrigation which can reduce its depth considerably during the summer months. Check with the Palisades Ranger District Office for depth level..."
