About
Bureau of Land Management
Campgrounds:
There are campgrounds at Laguna Mountain and Upper Sweetwater. Each campground features several campsites which are equipped with level RV pads, fire rings, shade structures, picnic benches, vault toilets, and a kiosk providing an interpretive panel, a map, and information about the area. Although no reservations or fees are required, there is a 14 day camping limit within any 28-day period. There is no electricity, running water, or trash collection at the campsites. Please utilize good camping ethics, and remember to pack out your garbage when you leave.
Dispersed Camping:
Dispersed camping is also available, although there is no camping within 200 yards of any wildlife watering improvement. You must park within 15 feet (roughly one vehicle length) of any roadway when camping or leaving a vehicle unattended to minimize habitat and vegetation impacts. Please remember to bring a shovel with you for both personal sanitation and fire prevention purposes.

BLM
Nice Campsites. Only 5 sites. Bathrooms. Free. First come first serve
Well Maintained
Free and well maintained campsite. I only saw 5 marked campsites. There's a small parking lot and bathroom. Some spots are more convenient for travel trailers, others are not
Expect Snow in the Winter
Drove up for a quick trip from SD. Expected some snow patched but there was a 6” blanket! That’s on me for not checking before hand.
The campground is a nice set up on the lake . If you do head up in the winter, plan to bring a shovel because you will need to clear the site yourself.
Will for sure return in the summer or fall to check it out.
