TravelerWe decided to stay at this campground because bear lake campground was too crowded for us. It’s not exactly what we hoped for because sadly there’s not as many trees as the pictures show due to heavy snowfall fall from this past winter I’m sure. It’s still really pretty! You can see the mountains clearly without the trees so it works out alright. I would say if you don’t like to see other people when you’re camping, this probably isn’t the place for you. Less chance of bears with more people around though! Definitely use the bear boxes! Overall good spot, would definitely consider coming back:)
TravelerI only drove up to the campsite and was disappointed because there was probably only a couple feet in between campsites and it felt really crowded. Theres not as many trees as the pictures show due to heavy snowfall this last winter I’m sure. We drove back down the road to blue lake campground and it was a little better spaced. Just know there are near by options if it’s not what you were looking for.
GuideThe higher you go, the rougher the road, but plenty of sites. I came in on a Saturday afternoon and had plenty of option. If anything I struggled to find a level site-but plenty of rocks to help with that.
Fire rings made of rocks everywhere. Lots of bugs, not so much mosquitoes of an issue, but rather gnats.
Seeing all the side by sides gave me some caution, but they go up high on the mountain, and weren’t disruptive.
Great sunset! Great views!
TravelerThe shelters and fire pits are nothing compared to the free electric hookup. Every person 16 and over must have an SWA pass. Which you can get online at the entrance.
TravelerThis was a campground that had RV spots, cabins and tent spots. Our tent spot was tucked back in a quiet place, close walk from our tent to plumbed toilets and a further walk to the bathhouse with showers. We used this campground to explore the surrounding area and Bishop Castle. Staff was very friendly and they had a lot things to do for the kids in the camp store/facility.
Traveler$28 for site + $10 non-resident fee. Pit toilet, older but clean. No water. No trash. Sites are adequately spaced. Some are level, some not, not indicated on website. Tables, fire rings, and tent pads - seemed level. June 19 buggy & hot - seasonal info. Lots of cactus around. Side note, two vehicles came in and tried to steal the Casita camper in the site next to us, owners came back just in time. Be aware.
ScoutThis is a fun spot to camp. Theres no good logs around for firewood but good twigs for kindle. Theres a cool tunnel to drive through too. Will definitely come back.
RangerSo turn at this spot and head up the hill. It’s also called BLM Bianca which is also a site on here! So many options and the views are incredible. Bugs are insane so don’t come without spray. Coyotes in the distance and just miles of beautiful land and no people. This is the spot to go if you’re going to the dunes!
RangerWe have been all over the states and this spot has won top place! The sunset alone was amazing. Bugs are the worst here than anywhere I’ve been so lots of bug spray! Cactuses everywhere too so wear your shoes. No one was around us and it was like peace on earth
