Prewitt Reservoir State Wildlife Area

Google took us right to it. Easy to get to. The road in is rigid, not pot hole-y, just small bumps that make for a shaky road. Past that, it was fine. There are a lot of campers, but plenty of spaces even at midnight on a Friday night. Beautiful trees and small reservoir. Watch for the no-seeums in the sandy parts.

Basic “at large” camping here with vault toilets and dumpsters provided but NO POTABLE WATER. Suitable sites for tenting, van and RV parking lie along the verge of the reservoir high water line. Generally a quiet camping area but big RVs translate to loud generators that run all night when it’s warm and the A/C units are running. Birding is good here most of the year even during goose season which opens the first Saturday in October (Herons, grebes, white pelicans, ducks and peeps). It’s possible to SUP or kayak here, even as late as October with easy launching near the dam; late season creates a wide sand flat on the southwest end of the reservoir that is pleasant to let the dogs romp on

We called the reservations number, listed on the app. Spoke with 2 different people that seemed to have no knowledge of the possibility of camping here. The 2⭐️⭐️ are only because we just couldn’t find the place.
