"The campground is very small: only 5 sites plus the extra site near the bridge. There is a creek and our spot (#4) was next to it."

$25 / night

"This campground is about 4 miles off highway 36. Horseshoe pits are right across from camp host. Was very quiet"
RangerFirst of all, it is a BEAUTIFUL area and drive in. Gorgeous area. BLM land by water is relatively flat.
NOT big rig friendly. It is a sharp, steep curve to come into gate and road is narrow gravel/sand. I would not have been able to get into area and turn around if my rv had been any longer that it is (19ft) and I had to use 4WD and Maxtraxs. Road just ends so you have to turn around in grass/rock terrain if you go too far because there is no warning.
Only other downside of this spot is the mosquitos are horrible. Sitting outside during sunset isn’t even possible with bug repellent. They were covering my dogs. So be aware if you stay here. Will do for an overnight stop. Also no cell service.
ScoutReally nice BLM site. Close to 139 road and easy to access. Very well marked (there are many signs). Toilets are clean and nice. The only downside is that there are lot of bugs at the evening. Really recommend the visit if you are passing the area.
GuideBeautiful campground. Quiet. Plenty of wood for a fire. Sites are spacious and good distance between each. It is buggy. Flush toilets aren’t open, but they have the cleanest vault toilets I’ve ever seen.
TravelerThe bad 🦟 Tons of mosquitoes! The Good- Great campsite in a nice remote area to take in nature, go hiking, bike riding, and fishing for trout! This is a great place to get off the grid and electronic devices and have some fun! Camp hosts are really friendly as are other campers here. Good mix of age groups and families. There is no beach to the lake, so sun bathers be warned.
RangerWe stayed here for one night on our trip down US395 to Death Valley. It was ok. It was about 3/4 full on a Sunday afternoon. It’s small. The vault toilets were nice. We would only stay here for an overnight on our way somewhere else.
GuideCheck the NPS website. Walk-in tent camping currently closed; however, RV's allowed to park overnight in center of gently sloped Asphalt Parking lot for $10/ night ($5 seniors). Nice restrooms and wi-fi available in visitor center lobby 24h/d. A very good option! Visitor Center has cafe...
TravelerThe drive was nice once you get past the burn scar. There was no one around so it was peaceful and the weather was decent. There are just a few spots but plenty of room for trailer parking. There is a bathroom and bear box. Pack it in and out for trash.
TravelerCamping here in early April, we weren’t able to access anything past the pull off from the highway. The area has a good amount of space that we felt safe enough to put two tents down.
ScoutExcellent site, far enough from the highway that there's no noise, but cloee enough that access is easy. The worst part of the unpaved road is the ~30 feet right off 395 before the cattle guard, after that it's pretty smooth. and the site is well marked. Possibly the cleanest pit toilet I've ever used.
