The campground is a first come first serve. Period. Here’s why I don’t recommend it. When we entered the campground late in the day we had to pay the fee to stay for the night. We had no idea if there were any sites left in the campground and the attendant didn’t either. We found only two sites left. One site was too short for our rig and the other site was long enough and we got setup. As soon as we were setup and level, someone rolls up to our site and says we are in his site. This was someone local who had come earlier and paid the attendant and had been promised the site. There was nothing on the site or in the site to indicate that the site was somehow reserved. I told the man that this site was a first come serve and we were already here and setup and he could have our site in the morning. He remained at the site and so I called the number on the card we were handed by the attendant and there was no camp host to come resolve the issue. So, the number I called was to the city dispatcher and they had to send out a police officer and his answer was basically, “this is a first come first serve campground”. This wasted so much time of my evening. They aren’t keeping track of the number of campers coming into the park or what sites they are in. The attendants will promise a site but does nothing to mark them reserved. There’s no system at all other than paying at the front and being handed a card. Other than that it is a very nice park with well spaced, level campsites with good power and water. I would not recommend staying here and don’t plan to return.

Our site had power , but the ground is broken, so we won't use it. The bathrooms are so bad I can't use it. The sinks each had hundreds of dried up dead bugs. Omg this place is so gross.

Maybe I missed it but a map would be helpful. We drove around for a while looking for the rv spots. However it’s really nice. We didn’t use the restrooms so not sure about those.

Its a minor drive off 40 to get here but we felt well worth it. $25 a night, large sites. Beware, some sites with hookups on opposite side of coach. Well manicured park, lots of sites, near the lake. Overall a great pick, restrooms/showers were, well, sketchy. That's our only complaint. Would absolutely stay here again.

Just needed an overnight stay in our commute to CA. This place is perfect for that. Clean, trees, quiet, water & electric and a dumping station. Had no problem getting Verizon cell service. Bathrooms are typical park bathrooms -very basic but functional. No appearance of long term residents (no junked up sites). Very nice lady on the phone. Very nice grocery store a couple miles away.
Be aware, though, CASH or CHECK only. You get an envelope on the way in, put your payment in it and out it in the slot. First come, first serve - choose your own spot.

We would stay here again. About 10 minutes off I-40.

Picnic tables for each site, no sewer but an easy drive through dump and dumpsters, very clean park with unobtrusive attendants. This , with east drives to the air force base planes open to the public ( we were the only ones there) and the fabulous Cowboy museum is a dream come true.

The lake is scenic and has a nice area for swimming, although we didn't swim.
The only negative as mentioned in other reviews are the restrooms. They look dirty and are very unappealing. I would only recommend staying here if you have your own bathroom.
We had a very pleasant, quiet and enjoyable stay. We would be happy spending multiple days here.

Our first stay at Wes Watkins Campground was two years ago. It's still the same well mowed and maintained place it was then. The bath house still needs attention, but in this age of Covid, we use our RV facilities only.
The main difference between now and then is that more RVers have discovered it. We arrived around 3 p.m., and it was less than half filled. Two years ago, we were the only campers.
It has asphalt sites, not all totally level, with 50 and 30 amp. and water, pull through or back-in, shaded or more open, for $25 a night. Pay at a kiosk you pass on the way in. Pick your site first, then return to fill out the envelope, and insert cash or check, no cards.
It's next to a reservoir, well used for fishing and kayaking. The City of McLoud manages the campground, and the city police patrol it frequently. It feels safe.
A Fireside Express market is a short drive away. It sounds like a mini-mart, but it actually is much larger and has all the groceries, beverages or fuel you might want. We stopped on our way out to support McLoud businesses for making the park available.
