Great spots, road is not the best
Overall the spot is gorgeous. Many campfire circles already setup, a heap of space and privacy too. The road is gravel and dirt and has some major pot holes in a few areas currently, so be aware coming down if you’re not fully equipped for those kinds of roads.
Saw a heap of fish, Kokanee salmon and bass mostly, but unable to catch any/get a bite.

Great spot. Quiet until the weekends so plan your trip during the week.
Great 360 Views
Drove in at night. Don’t take 318 from CO and into Utah in the dark. Lesson learned.
Nice quiet place to spend the night, can see stars if the weather is good. Decently flat ground, beach is rocky but clean where we parked (we parked just off the road before the beach).
Would not recommend driving down the the beach when wet. Saw some sandy patches with ruts.
