Reviews of Lake Camp far west reservoir

This weekend we camped at Camp Far West North Shore. We had site 17 which was about 40 yards from the water. It was slightly graded down towards the lake but the location of the campsite was nice overall. People stay up late and are loud occasionally but that’s part of camping. The bathrooms were about 50 yards up the hill. They need to install soap dispensers and there aren’t showers. Don’t let the baby frogs jump out at you while you sit on the toilet, you might drop a little extra. The water was really nice but there are so many rocks and no sandy beach areas. A few of us hurt our feet on the sharp rocks underwater and going to and from the water. Swim/water shoes are mandatory. Anytime is a good time to swim, I heard other campers swimming around 1 am. The mini store is really close by just Incase you forget something and they are open till 12 am.

Camp Far west has been a place I have been visiting since the early 70s .I have always enjoyed the summers boating but as from the photos I'm sharing you can see it's not the place I remembered as a kid in the early 70s

This is camp far west lake as of August 2022. Water is really low. But there's still enough to boat and swim and fish in. Theres some big fish in there too. I seem them.

Security officer Melino is very rude and very unprofessional! My family camped 3 nights at the Wheatland location. Melino accused my husband of driving drunk and wreckless through the campsite. My husband had just parked our vehicle and was getting out when Melino came speeding down the hill with his lights flashing and horn blaring, while screaming out the car at my husband for him to get out of the vehicle. I walked over to see what was going on. Melino was screaming at my husband telling him to put his hands on his head and walk backwards toward him. Melino also screamed at the car telling all passengers to get out. There were no passengers in the vehicle. All the windows were down, so Melino would have seen that! As Melino was speeding down the hill, my niece was riding her scooter in the empty parking lot, and he almost ran her over!!!! My niece had to hop off her scooter into the grass so she wouldn’t get hit! My husband said Melino was shaking and putting pressure on his head while holding his hands. My husband said he had to turn around and tell Melino to calm down three times!!!! My husband said Melino’s eyes were scanning everything very crazy and he was shaking and yelling the whole time. (Maybe he needs a drug test!!) When I walked over to see what all the yelling was, it looked like Melino had his hand on his hip as if to grab a gun. All our children in the campsite were scared and shaking themselves. When I came into the office to ask for a supervisor number to call and report, they said there was no number to give, but that I could have the website. I feel this is very unprofessional. There should always be a number given to a customer. Another thing I noticed on the ticket, the fee said $20, but Melino crossed it out and wrote $65. They still made us pay $65 without an explanation as to why it was crossed out and changed!!!! Melino and another guy, maybe his partner, badge number 213, they were very rude when we came in to pay the ticket. They were talking back and getting upset that we wanted answers!!!!! We come here all the time, and sadly this will be our last year coming.

We took our dog for a day trip and ended up at Camp Far West Reservoir. There was hardly anyone there which was nice. The water level is terrible low being November. Great place for water sports, jet skiing and fishing. Reasonable day fee.
