Pleasantly surprised !!

Camp host was very helpful!
We snagged one of the two water sites! Absolutely wonderful. Weather was 10 plus degrees cooler then most places around the Salmon/Mackay area.

Beautiful reservoir but always windy

The reservoir is great year round. Fun ice fishing in the winter and big enough for boating in the summer. Just beware that it is almost ALWAYS windy there. It’s great winter camping though because they still have power hook ups and open outhouses that are decently clean.

Fabulous !

We enjoyed our stay here so much, we stayed an extra couple of days! This is a well-kept, well-designed BLM campground. Some spaces have shade trees, some do not. Many provide nice views of the lake. Sites are all paved as are the roads (no dust). They all have fire pits and picnic tables - some with shade covers. Lots of pull through sites. Each site has water and electricity. There is a RV dump within the campground. Can’t beat it for $14 per night! Our Verizon cellphone services wasn’t very good, but that’s my only complaint.
