SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Fishing and swimming draw campers to Hawkins Reservoir, a BLM-managed site set in forested terrain near Pocatello, Idaho. The campground has around seven sites, each with a metal-roofed shelter, picnic table, and fire ring. Note that lake levels can drop significantly by late summer, limiting fishing access. Road noise is a real factor here, as the sites sit close to a traveled road and can be affected by passing traffic. Pets are not permitted. Toilets and trash service are provided, and alcohol is allowed. Campers who want to explore places to camp near BLM Land — Pocatello Field Office will find additional options spread across the region. Early summer visits tend to coincide with higher water levels.

All by yourself along the road.

We stayed in the campsite overlooking the lake and accross the road. There are about 7 campsites all with metal pole building type shelters and picnic tables. Each site also provides a fire ring. One of the downsides to the campground is the proximity to the road. There was a number of loud vehicles and loud locals that kept us awake. We were staying in a tent, but if you are staying in an RV this might not be a problem. It was a good site for the price.
The lake was down and unavailable for fishing. It might be better early spring or summer.
