What campers say
Glory Hole Recreation Area offers a scenic lake setting, hiking and easy access to nearby Angels Camp, and generally clean restrooms with hot, free showers. Many sites have lake views but vary in level, shade and dust—bring a canopy or be prepared for early sun. Expect a strict 9pm gate closing and posted quiet hours that are sometimes inconsistently enforced; loud gatherings have been reported though rangers can assist. Boat launch conditions depend on water level; 4x4 may be useful and decontamination/boat rules can be confusing. Watch for poison oak around trails and shorelines.
