Best BLM camping near the lake
I loved this area. Not all BLM campgrounds are equal, and this one is one of the top on my list. Only 12 to a planet fitness for showers and only 5 minutes to groceries and supplies. The area is a mile off the highway. When you get to the mile in, there is a large lot with plenty of parking, but the road goes farther with more private spaces along the road. I went quite a ways back and found a great spot with an amazing view of the rocky knolls.
The road to get there is dirt, but not rutted, so any low clearance vehicle should be able to make it. The area is definitely busy with OHV and plenty of other campers, but I didn't have any issue with rowdy neighbors.
No services, pack in, pack out. Verizon service was good. Great place to go walking and found a few trails to various viewpoints.
