Before you go

These open questions need confirmation; Wayproof does not fill them with guesses.

Does the campground currently have 35 or 36 sites?

Conflict: county overview lists 35 spaces; county map labels 1-36 and ReserveAmerica lists 36 standard non-electric sites. Preserve all three and verify current inventory; no individual site catalog or availability is inferred.

Open question. Linked evidence does not resolve this gap.

Is campground well water available and suitable for drinking now?

Well/map inventory does not prove current water quality. The July 30 notice concerns missed May monitoring and retains prospective June wording; follow-up results are not supplied. It is not evidence of a positive contamination test or a boil-water order. Ask the county for current results and operation.

Open question. Linked evidence does not resolve this gap.

What campsite-specific fit, booking terms and fishing restrictions apply?

Normal-depth aggregate inventory, mapped facilities, fees and reservation channel are covered. Individual 36-site profiles, advance booking window/cancellation detail, current site availability and CDFW water-specific fishing regulations remain deferred. County fishing season summary is not promoted as the complete fishing law.
