Part of the McGowen Recreation & Wildlife Area, this established campground sits on open terrain managed by the Davis County Conservation Board. Campers should prepare for rough access roads leading to the sites. The facility provides electric and water hookups for RVs, along with drinking water, showers, and a dump station.
Nightly rates range from $10 to $79, with reservations available for those planning ahead. The open landscape offers little natural shade but allows for easy maneuvering of larger rigs once campers navigate the challenging entry route. For additional camping options in the region, consider campgrounds around Bloomfield or nearby Lake Fisher. This setup works well for RV campers who prioritize hookups over terrain conditions.
