it was really nice and pretty to see the lake full once again. wish they could keep it like that. But unfortunately they can't, the lakes water has to supply the Ranchers and spreading grounds in surrounding areas.

I love camping here. It is reasonably priced, spacious, and so wonderfully quiet. The camp hosts are always so helpful and kind.

Great experience, had a lot of fun camping here with my friends and family. The only downside was that there were a lot of parties going on which I didn't mind until they were still partying after lighouts out (at 10 PM) but I don't blame the camp hosts for that so I give piru five stars!

Took the family camping here. The wife thought it was too close to other campers but liked our spot. We played in the designated swim area. It was very murky but the water felt great and the kids loved it. I like that there was clean portapotties and flowing water nearby. Our site was shaded but there were others that had no shade whatsoever. The water in the lake was a bit icky but we go in it anyway. There was a store close enough that we were able to make runs if necessary. Our site was quiet time from 10 pm to 8 am and they definitely made sure. The location allowed for us to get a great look at the sky once the sun went down. Perfect site for star gazing. We didn’t get to rent water crafts but the lake is wide open. If you bring your own or rent one you will have a great time. Not very many people fishing and we unfortunately didn’t get the opportunity. All in all, we will return but this time with better planning. We went on a first time trip and never having went camping as a group before and the trip turned out solid. If you’re second guessing or trying to find a good introductory spot to take the family, this is a good one. Make sure to bring a shaded canopy or some sort of covering in case you don’t get a shaded spot.Nearby activities: The lake has a designated swim area, a boat ramp, and water access for fishing. There is a park for kids that has tables with grills and water access. You can rent boats at a nearby shop.Safety: Bring something to shade you. Wear shoes at all times because there are spikes in certain areas. There is definitely wildlife around because a deer ran right through the camp. There are showers, water outlets, clean potties, and a ranger station close by almost all campsites.Walkability: It’s spread out yet close enough that you can walk if you’re not too lazy but I’d rather bike or drive.Noteworthy details: I gets really hot out here so plan accordingly. Depending on where you camp you will have the sun right on top of you.

They don't have anyone patrolling at night first night there was a fight almost 1 am took over 45min for a patrol to make it out until then you hear drunk person fighting mith multiple people within there group not pleasant to go out with family and young children and fear what can go wrong and no phone service nor night ranger patrolling. There's no way to contact anyone since there is no service they wanna charge each ( per person) $10 to use Hotspot per day.You have to drive 4 miles to go to some what clean water if you wanna swim. The one that's near the camp area, the water has a funky smell ?I feel that the person who reserves the campsite should have access without any fee to the Hotspot incase of an emergency.

Went to spend a day on the lake.Had a friend who had a boat so I didn't need to rent one. They do have boats you can rent.Parking for the day was 14 dollars and there are lots of campsites.Mostly dirt, so you will need an outdoor rug.

Great campground, with the rains this year, the lake was very full. Swimming area in the lake is small, but better than nothing. Friendly staff, they make many rounds everyday and great vibe in all.

The area is great, the lake is great, the staff need to relax bigtime they sometimes think they are running a military camp instead of a tax payer funded camp and swim area, many time they r great

I have camped here many times with my daughter and once with family. They loved it here and so do I. I made the mistake of camping at Castaic Lake because it was closer to Six Flags and it just doesn't compare. The lake and recreation at Castaic is awesome but the campsite is no comparison to Lake Piru. Lake Piru's campsites are perfectly sized and there are affordable sites with electrical hookups. The bathrooms are so much more clean than the other guys and the showers work. The area is more secluded and because of this there is more wildlife and serenity. Each site is well maintained and so far I have had little to no issue with insects including ants. Me and my daughter love it here and will continue to come back.Nearby activities: Six Flags Magic Mountain

I have not been camping here but the lake is nice! After the rains early this year, the lake is the most full I have seen! No reception when going up the mountain. There's a store at the bottom just before coming up the mountain I don't think there's a store at the actual lake so try to bring everything you will need. There are several picnic areas but during the weekend it gets really packed in the summer so you will need to go early to reserve those picnic spots as it's first come first served. Since the lake is really full, there is only a tiny area where you can swim on the shore and that kinda sucks. We always take the boat so we get the full experience. The water is pretty choppy, it can get windy. There are little coves all around the lake that if you have a boat, you can drive out and find a spot on the coves. It's super nice to do that because like I said it gets packed. Dog friendly, it does get super hot during the summer and there are a lot of dogs so keep that in mind. There are restrooms on the shore just a little off the dock and also there are multiple floating bathrooms on the lake.

I was there scoping camping sites. Nice place, but watch out for those snakes. They blend in really well with the landscape. I will be camping there eventually!
