Long Draw Reservoir Dispersed Camping

Fishing and kayaking enthusiasts will find 29 dispersed camping spots spread along a lengthy forest road at Long Draw Reservoir. The US Forest Service manages this Roosevelt National Forest site, where RVs up to 30 feet can access most spots via the relatively smooth Road 151. Some sites require more searching along the extended route, while others offer proximity to multiple lakes for water activities.

Two group campgrounds provide toilets and drinking water for $22 per night, while standard dispersed sites follow forest service fees. Hikers can explore several trail options from the area. Campers seeking additional campgrounds near Gould will find Peterson Lake nearby, though that access road requires high clearance vehicles according to recent visitor reports.

29 really spread out dispersed camping spots along a very long road. Some of them are hard to find. A few really awesome hiking trails a couple different lakes to choose from for fishing kayaking. It’s along rd 151 you also have Peterson lake nearby as well. I found two group campgrounds that are pay per night (22 a night) they have toilets and water. The dispersed by Peterson lake was very rough road high clearance recommended. The 151 to long draw relatively smooth and vehicle could make it
