We were looking for a place to camp this year and since we no longer want to camp in a tent, I was…read morelooking for a cabin. There are very few within a 3-4 hour distance from where I live and most go quickly. I was fortunate to find a cabin at Clear Lake and we booked for two nights in the middle of the week. That is easier to find than the weekends. We went in early July and the weather was perfect, traffic getting there was clear as well since it was midweek, the last 10 miles winding into the mountains was a bit scary and tiresome but well worth the drive. Someone from the park called that day to check when we would be arriving so they could arrange check in. We got there around 3:30 and check in, which was easy. Note that if you are going to a cabin, make that clear, the attendant assumed that it was a tent site and told us that the particular site was reserved for employees. As I was getting to the point that I was getting upset, he realized that I was talking about a cabin. I didn't realize that I had to clarify that. They gave me a map to the park, which is quite large and very beautiful. Lots of tent camping sites but only one area for the cabins. The only downside was that the cabins, about 10 of them, are very close to each other. Each cabin has 2 bunk beds, a picnic table, a counter top and open closet. They also have electricity and A/C, all on timers. I love that the cabins have Dutch doors! Bathrooms are very close to the cabins and the parking. You have to pay for the showers and buy the tokens from the camp host who lives right by the cabins. You are not allowed to put up a tent in the cabin area. All the cabins have picnic tables and fire pits and they all face a beautiful meadow that is private to the cabins. The park has lots of hiking trails, dogs are welcome, an area for swimming and for fishing. I believe you can rent boats but since we did not do that, I am not 100% positive. The water was not clear but we had a great time swimming and trying to catch fish, we did not succeed but it was one of the best camping trips in memory. I can write pages but in summary, it was a fantastic experience with many wineries within 15-30 minutes from the entrance of the park. I would highly recommend.

It even had AC, which we didn't need to use. But what surprised me the most was the amount of wildlife we saw in less than 24 hours. We saw deer families on two occasions, a gray fox, osprey, great blue herons, black crowned herons, Asian bullfrogs (invasive) and their tadpoles, grebes, quail, scrub jays, ducks, squirrels (of course), etc. (We did not see any otters of beavers- maybe next time.) The campsites looked clean and serene. The beach area likewise. And all the people who worked there were friendly (entrance booth, site host, rangers). Overall, one of the best "camping" experiences ever in my 65 years.

Folks show up early to stake their claim for prime space, even before the bands show up to start getting ready for their shows. There are food trucks, and sponsor booths giving away various items during the concerts. I was quite impressed with the play equipment the City installed for the community, as well as the fact that they maintain restrooms for public use. I can only hope the concerts continues on for many years to come.

We hit this park yesterday for some fun in the sun and it was perfect. The course wasn't crowded,…read morethe weather wasn't too hot (being up in Lake County I expected it to be hotter), and it was beautiful. Old oaks all over the park making some holes challenging but worth the effort. Overall it is well maintained for a disc course. There is a total of 23 holes if you play A-E in the middle of the course. I think it's around hole 14 that you hit these holes which I recommend. Nice rolling terrain with some steep sections that make it a great day out there. We had never been before and did ask a couple times about where the next hole is to be found but honestly it's labeled well enough to figure it out, we just aren't shy to ask. There are several tee boxes for each hole but primary is where you find the tee pad. Many tournaments out here which is the reason for the different starts. I thought it was great. Lots of benches and places to drop your bag by the tee boxes which is nice, garbage cans around the course to keep it clean. Bathrooms after hole 6 up the way a bit by the picnic grounds. Nothing at the start of the course, so ladies be prepared. If you are looking for a new course check this spot out, really pretty and worth the trek.

This made for good bird cover, but not a scenic walk. The trail on the uphill portion of the park was obscured by scotch broom, and poorly maintained.

There are a couple benches that could be used for picnicking closer to the parking lot; one had a view toward the lake & Konocti.
