Great secluded place to camp.

I had this campground all to myself at the end of June. Was a perfect place to stop for the night. Very secluded and beautiful. Sunset was amazing. So many unique birds and lake is swimmable.

Only downside is that it got buggy at night but no suprise there.

Great Views

Great little BLM campground located on Eagle Lake. There are no established campground sites but an open area. There are two restrooms but no trash cans. This campground is pack in, pack out. It's a great site for a day.

Cell Service: 5G Great

Awesome spot for the week!

This place was amazing! There were so many spots to select from. Stayed 4 nights and only saw 4 other campers. The vault toilet I was near was by far the cleanest vault toilet I’ve ever used. It was checked at least once in the 4 days I was there. The spot is free but has a donation box at entrance. Saw several people have small boats to fish on the lake. Had 3 bars of 4G service so enough to work remotely but it was an struggle. No water or trash services so please pack out. No fires at this time either. Stargazing here is to die for!!

Great find

We liked how secluded it was and even had a very nice and clean vault toilet near the camp sites. Great spot to kayak or enjoy camping by water. Also there is a legit donation box but you can camp for free.
