Middle of nowhere in a good way

The journey to get here is long but worth the peace and quiet. We stayed at the south end of the lake where there is more camp spots, a boat ramp, and toilet. There are no marked spots as it's just a large field. Area is beautiful and exploring the Red Rocks Lakes valley is an experience. Camping is free.
