T.K. Jones Campground Senator Wash Road, Winterhaven, CA 92283

"This is a great spot. It's too bad the feds can't figure out how to get the bathrooms and showers going again. Maybe that's why it's not as crowded as usual."

"Beautiful setting. Unfortunately there's no electric so the bathrooms are closed. They say they are working on it but it has been 3 months. We still made the best of it and stayed two nights."

"This is our 3rd year in a row camping here. The campsite itself is decent, clean, no water or electricity (which is expected for dry camping). Weather isn’t bad in Oct. We camped on one of the hotter weeks, but it’s not too bad when you are out in the water in the lake. Temperature is cool down significantly after 5pm and cool at night. There are few sand dunes in middle of the lake which is nice to hang out. However… 1. Be aware that our friend’s boat engine got stolen overnight. DO lock your engine if you park over night at upper lot. Lock away all valuables if you walk away from camp sites 2. ALL bathrooms are not in service except the one at Senator Wash Boat launch. They have an outdoor shower that DOES NOT need coin. Refill your water here too since camp sites have no water. 3. They do walk around to check for permit in morning. I personally do not think it’s worth it to pay $15 per car per night for camping with no bathroom. BLM land camping is the same and is free. 4. There are donkeys that roam around at night and make noises which can be hard to sleep. Their poops are everywhere. 5. A lot of mosquitoes and bugs so spray the heck away on you and around your tent. 6. There are big cockroaches (I really hate them) that can fly. They are just straight up terrifying to me but are harmless. Bottom line. Will not come back next year if they don’t open up bathroom and shower again."

"My all time favorite place. What a difference bad camp hosts can make. We were harassed by them first thing in the morning. We had already paid and set up camp and they wanted us to move our vehicles even though we were literally the only people there, They came back and harassed My friend when she got there telling her to pay right away, which she was going to do anyway. She just got there. They locked all of the bathrooms, and the showers had used tampons and smelled like pee, probably because the bathrooms were all locked. Everything is overgrown, and there are mysterious barrels in the water. I talked to people who launch there all the time, and the bathrooms are always locked."

"Restrooms and showers are available in two buildings. Showers require tokens which can be purchased for $1 each, from a third building, for which you get a 5 - 7 minutes shower per token. There is also a boat launch and well marked camping spots. There are more picnic tables near the beach. Note 1: You must back your vehicles into the camping spots. Note 2: Be aware of wildlife which will enter camping and picnic areas."
