Nice reservoir, Kinda busy

Went to this place during the weekday and still had a little bit of a hard time finding a spot at first, but the one we decided on was totally worth it. Spots for dispersed camping around the reservoir are only around the one end of the road and there are a good half dozen or so but they are all pretty good sized. Looks like a good amount of locals like to camp here. Fishing was okay, me and my friends caught a couple of trout but not many. Also to note: there is a ranch nearby with a lot of cows on the road up and near the sites that tend to make some noise but never got too close. Some of their dogs tend to come to the sites as well and even hung out with us for one of the days, whether we wanted them to or not. Either way this area is pretty nice if you can get a spot.
