Benjamin T ★ 4 · Sep 2025Campground has been relatively recently renovated. The bear boxes, bathrooms, etc are new and quite nice. Bathrooms and dumpsters stayed clean while we were there over a holiday weekend. Camp host was around all the time but did not really enforce food regulations - I saw many people leave trash bags out in the open while away from their campsites. If you want privacy get a spot on the outside of the loop, a lot of the inner spots are right next to eachother. Also, a lot of the sites are insanely dusty because it's newer and plant roots haven't locked down the loose dirt yet. Some sites lacking in shade as well. From the main loop there is a nice trail down to the boat ramp, it's less than a quarter mile. The walk-in sites are much closer to the lake. Not much of a "beach" besides the boat ramp, just steep rocky shoreline but it's still a quite nice place to hang out.
John M ★ 2 · Aug 2025The smell of the pit toilets was everywhere. The whole area around the fire pit and the table was nothing but dust. I can't imagine what a mire it must become when it rains.
Andrea S ★ 4 · Aug 2025My campsite needs a new wood chip layer all over the site. It was extremely dusty. Unless you have a boat, the access isn’t suitable for water activities since there wasn’t a sandy beach. The bathrooms should have signage to keep the toilet seats down after use. This is a no-brainer in my mind, but needs to be said. It stunk so bad and several flies in the bathroom because other campers were not very considerate in this area. The camp host was kind and diligent in checking paid fees by newly arriving campers, which is good in order to keep the riff raff out. We don’t intend to come back to this campground just because our family is looking for walkable beach.

West Point Campground sits on the northwest shore of Union Valley Reservoir at about 4,875 feet, offering a compact, lake-front base for water-focused camping in Eldorado National Forest. The site count is small and specific: 22 campsites in total 18 sites that accommodate both RVs and tents and 4 tent-only sites with individual sites ranging from single to triple capacity. The campground is immediately adjacent to a boat ramp, so launching for boating or fishing is straightforward, and there's a day-use area for picnics or shore-side relaxation. Access is up in the Sierra east of Placerville:…
