I've never camped at Madrone, but have camped at the other boat in camping area (Garden Point) twice. Note I said "other" boat in camping area. You probably won't be leaving food in the car. Bears are a problem at the normal BB camping sites (we saw one walk by with a McDonalds bag about 20 yards away last year), but I think they all have bear-proof storage for food. I've heard Madrone is quite a hike (even in high water conditions) to the site, so bring some shoes to load up gear other than flip flops. Bring mosquito repellent, pretty standard for camping near lakes, and you should be fine. I believe cell phone reception is generally okay at Bullards, not sure about the camp site itself. Madrone is right by the good wakeboarding, so that is sweet. Bullards is awesome. Have fun.
