My first time camping (EVER) was at this campground and I will cherish it forever! My boyfriend and I arrived at around 3:30pm on a Saturday afternoon after father's day weekend with no reservations and there were about 5-7 available spots and more spots as the sun was setting. Many people who were not sleeping over left at around sun down. Upon arriving, the park ranger helped us find the campground and informed us of different campsites that were available. We paid $25 for our campsite (#14) and that included the site and one car. We paid an additional $8 for the second car. Our site included a picnic table and a grill (propane or charcoal only). What's really neat about this site is that their bathrooms are clean. They have a women, gender neutral, and men bathroom. The women and men's restroom came with a toilet, sink, and shower. The gender neutral restroom came with a toilet and sink. It was incredibly convenient and nice to use! The site itself doesn't have much to offer. If you're looking for scenic hikes, this is not the place to come to. Bagby sits right on Lake McClure and many families were in there with life jackets, speedboating, and doing all sorts of fun water activities! This is a great place for alone time with each other or just bonding activities! Also, the stars are beautiful at night from where we settled. We were able to locate the Big Dipper and my boyfriend was able to geek out with his constellation knowledge, haha! There is no service here at all, so if you need to contact anyone or do anything work related, I do not recommend. Service cuts in and out on the way to the campground as well-- so if you're traveling in a group/pack, be sure to be following each their closely!

The woman that I spoke to on the reservations line was nice and friendly. The bad thing was I couldn't always get through to the reservation line...one time I was calling for 2 hrs and kept getting the busy signal.The campground itself is both RV and tent camping. It's right on the lake so it's really pretty. Not too crowded, the atmosphere is pretty chill and peaceful...except when the birds start cawing at 4am. I actually call them "monkey" birds because they sound like chimps. It was really really annoying. I wanted to shoot them all down. Also, I think sounds carry here, because I could hear people snoring from 4 sites down.We got a campsite that's basically on gravel which is not too nice to sleep on if you don't have an airbed. I would have liked a more woodsy site. There's only one bathroom/shower which is layed out kind of strangely, plus the lock was broken, so basically anyone could just walk in & see you on the can.They also don't allow campfires so that was kind of a bummer. But they have picnic tables and a grill at most sites. Fees were reasonable.Overall, it was an ok campsite. Pretty, but would have liked a campfire and better bathrooms.
