    Nice lake for San Diego but the $ 10.00 Water contact Fee per person that's on the boat or jet ski above the lunch fee is ridiculous. Even Lake Tahoe and Donner Lake That have the strictest boating Pollution laws in the country don't charge a Water contact fee. I can guarantee you the fishermen are peeing in the water far more than the recreational boaters. There is very few spots to place a Easy up shade tent or even park a boat or jet ski on the shoreline. The shoreline drops of into deep water VERY quickly! I'm listing this as not good for young kids or bad swimmers do to the quick drop off of the shoreline!

    There was nothing to see! It's used mostly for fishing. Not impressed at all... The drive there was somewhat scenic.

    Me and my family have never had to leave before we stayed all our reserved days while camping, but…read morethis campsite set us over. Most of the sites are completely barren with dead grass and bushes, and the view is primarily dead-brush-covered hills with the occasional view of the city below. The campsites are raised on a hill so the lake is barely visible. Even if it is, you are not allowed to interact with it except for fishing, so there is hardly a point. The sun relentlessly beats down on the ground, with the only shade being from sparse trees. The only reason this is not a zero star review (besides the app not allowing it) is for the staff, who were polite and very helpful. Never again.

    Becky's family camps at Lake Jennings every Thanksgiving. Her brother and SIL secure a spot and her…read morenephew and his family reserve an adjacent spot. We make the short drive up on Wednesday and spend the night before heading back home mid Thanksgiving morning. It is always a lot of fun. Bex family all love fishing and the lake provides ample opportunity. Stocked regularly with trout. They all caught their share. The spots are spacious. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The facilities and the grounds are clean and maintained. Prices are very reasonable. Besides camping, Lake Jennings offers boating (you can rent a boat or bring your own), hiking. There's on-site horseshoe pits too. If not camping, you can just spend the day if you want to. Lots of great picnic areas. We've always loved Lake Jennings. It was our favorite campground when we had our RV. We look forward to getting back into camping.

    DCB saved us! Drove…read moretwo hours to conduct a scheduled drop off at another shop for my 36' Formula only to find the shops gates locked and no one home! Super frustrating. Called DCB and Eric (outstanding rep and tech) made room for us in his yard, minutes before they closed, to repair the hydraulic steering system and install a quick-connect fresh water flush system. The outstanding customer service we've received coupled with the high caliber boats they have in the yard instantly let you know this is THE place to go for quality work and no BS. Will update this review after the repairs are effected to share the whole story! : ) Thanks so far to Eric and the DCB Team!!!

    BEWARE!!! I hate to…read morebe the one doing this as a business owner myself but the way these people treated me with the money, I was going to spend with them is unreal. I was put in contact with (ANDY) DCB on the week of 1/31/2022-2/5/2022. After reviewing a boat with Andy, we came to a agreement at $425k on a used M31 That was in taken apart with the drive removed off the boat, shook Andy's hand and told him I wanted to take it get it put back together and ready for a test drive. I know nothing about the boat or motors. Please give me a list of recommended service as well as cost. Buying a DCB from DBC themselves you would think that would be easy. He told me that i would need to give him $25,000 and $5000.00 nonrefundable if i didn't buy the boat for any reason. Started getting a run around with Andy and couldn't get straight answers, i contacted a few friends that own boats. they put me in contact with the owner Chase with is very knowledgeable and ran through the whole boat with me amazing guy, was pretty shocked DCB couldn't feed me information like chase did. I told chase i was going to buy his boat i feel good about buying a used boat from a person like himself straight shooter. Andy got all upset i contacted the owner and decided to attack me over the phone, i explained to him in a nice way he sucked at his job and created doubt as a buyer from the lack of knowledge given. i also explained no one was backing dooring you in anyway the sale was going through DCB. 2/3/2022 - I was a little upset about the phone call we had when he attacked me, so in our conversation i advised Andy that I know he damaged the boat and tore the seat and the owner didn't know that happen as (in our seeing of the boat he blamed owner and said he would pay), His blame then changed and blamed another shop for damaging it. Pretty sad the blame was pointed everywhere but them self as they had possession of the boat. Very scarry for future consignment customers. later that night on 2/3/2022 I received a text from Andy that i have till 4:00 Pm on 2/4/2022 to pay him $425,000.00 for a boat that is all taken apart, didn't even hear it run never mind a test drive. or he was going to get boat serviced which cost $6,000 and charge me another $25,000 to buy the boat and the price was going to go up to $450,000 After the falling out with Andy, a buddy of mine that owns a DCB told me to contact tony he would handle it. I contacted tony on 2/4/2022 and spoke with him and our first talk on the phone He processed to talk over me and take about an unrelated subject (politicks / California life), I finally got him on track when i was allowed to talk to explain what was going on. after explaining the situation that i already agreed to the boat at $425k he said he would get in contact with Andy to get the boat put back together for a test ride to finalize up the deal. was a very rough conversation tony seems to like talking over you very bad for business and respect for a customer. He told me he would call me back that day or call me the following day to get everything handled. I received a Groupe message from tony and Andy telling me their backing out the deal boat isn't for sale the decided they were going to service the boat and make me pay another $25,000 to buy the boat. I advise everyone to run for the hills do not buy from these guys when your spending close to 1/2 Million on a boat in no way shape or form should you be treated in any such way as they have.
