Collins Lake — Attraction in California

Starting off it was a shock to see the size of the campsite, small and right next to your neighbor. Very nice clean spots but wasn't what I expected. $100, 2 nights, standard site. There was shade allllll day😍 5 stars

10 p.m. curfew, nothing new until we dealt with security! We were HARASSED TO THE EXTREME. Wish I knew his name. He continually drove in our court and stood in the dark waiting and watching so he can start harassing us and every other site in our area. In the a.m. I was woke up and told that we were all going to have to leave!!! Morning noise is not enforced.

Security was offended when something was said to him by a few of the guests. Security lied to his boss I feel because of the offending words!!! It was a he said she said situation. The manager ultimately took the side of his employee after being told from MULTIPLE separate campers the same situation with their employee. We should have been apologized to after getting all the info but that did not happen.

The other guests did not have to leave but 1 guest had to leave by 5 p.m.! This should have been a warning! There was a bending in the decision I feel because management knew their security was in the wrong!!!! They put a big damper on our trip. Next time we know to go to the office...

I did not mind paying $52 a night for lake side camping. I did not mind the walk to the porta potties. What did concern me is the complete lack of competence in the security staff. The campground rules state quiet time is from 10pm until 8am. There was a loud and drunk group camping next to our site. We let it go until 11pm when our children could not sleep due to the annoyance and the unsafe situation of a fire being started on the shore of the lake. We stated our concerns to the security staff twice. Both times the security guard told them they had received complaints from their neighbors, but not to worry because they were doing nothing wrong. At 1am we could not take it anymore and a call was made to the non-emergent sheriff line. A deputy sheriff arrived a half hour later and told them to keep quiet. A lot of good that did! for the next hour I had to listen to the group next to us plot their revenge. Needless to say we cut our trip short and were up and out of there by 8am. Our family camping trip was ruined. If you like to party until the wee hours of the morning than this is the campground for you. I would not recommend it to families...

Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about this place. I rented a trailer and a boat for my family for the weekend. The prices of the ice cream are so low and the serving is so much. The staff is always nice and always so accommodating. They try to make your visits as enjoyable as possible. Forgot to get a fishing license....no problem! You can get one here and bait. The boat rental is so in expensive it makes it am affordable trip. Even the pre-teen enjoyed the trip. I recommend this to families and people of all ages. For camping, or renting a trailer, bring your own RV, trailer, 5th wheel whatever. Not so outdorsey...rent a cabin. Either way your experience will be amazing. All trailers and cabins come equip with cook wear, service for 10. Everything you could need in the kitchen. Bring food and your set. No matter if you go to Collins Lake for a few hours a few days or a few weeks. You will enjoy your stay and you...
