Lake access draws anglers and paddlers to this dispersed camping area along the Bear River. Campers reach the site via a four-mile gravel road that reviewers consistently describe as easy to navigate, leading to multiple pull-off spots directly beside the water.
The established camping area sits just ten feet from the lake's edge and provides vault toilets for convenience. Multiple reviewers mention the open views across the water toward surrounding mountains, though GoWhereYouAreDraw N. notes that "Wyoming wind made its presence felt" during their stay. Cell coverage varies by carrier, with some campers reporting no T-Mobile service.
Seasonal conditions affect the camping experience significantly. Summer visitors should prepare for heavy insect activity, as one reviewer found conditions "insanely buggy this time of year" and couldn't open vehicle doors without insects flooding in. The area operates as free dispersed camping with pets allowed and alcohol permitted.
The site's proximity to Woodruff Narrows Public Access Area provides additional lake access options just 2.5 miles north for campers wanting developed facilities.
