    Freezout Lake - Dispersed Camping

    Great free spot

    Like others said, it is pack in pack out, but otherwise it is great. Bathroom is close and clean, being close to the water is nice, and 100% free. There’s also a campground not far away more inland that is free in the same park.

    Bynum Reservoir

    Ideal for a few nights

    Been looking for a spot for the night all day, until I finally found this gem. The water is incredible, it was warm enough for a midday swim. Depending on your clearance, you could park anywhere around the lake. Even with low clearance we still found a fantastic spot. No ATT service, Verizon worked fine though. Definitely coming back in the future.

    Freezout Lake - Dispersed Camping

    A Hidden Gem

    First of all, it’s free! Right off 89, 30 miles from 15. There is a bathroom, that’s clean enough. There are only two picnic table spots, but I was lucky enough to be one of only two vehicles parked for the night. The views are wonderful. It’s quite, and there are paths around the water. I took a star off because by 9pm I had to retire to my camper because the mosquitoes were so bad - but that’s to be expected. Another thing to note are the heavy winds, just make sure you don’t leave things out, and expect a windy breakfast. There is no dumpster, so pack in and pack out. Overall, for a free campsite, I highly recommend!

    Freezout Lake - Dispersed Camping

    Nice but windy and night and mosquitoes in the evening

    Stayed there for a night arrived at 5pm and it’s an open area where you can find a table and camp there. I cooked and it was fine but late in the evening after sunset there will be lot of mosquitoes so better be prepared and there will lot gusting wind at night.

    Freezout Lake - Dispersed Camping

    Flat open and free

    Freeze Out Lake Waterfowl Manage Area's campground it a free campground.  If you wish to camp here be prepared for more of a disperse camping experience.  While the site does have a vault toilet that is about it.  "sites" are not labeled and appear mainly to be by rows of brush.  Each site is a large flat grassy area.  A few of the spots do have picnic tables but most don't.  Fires are not allowed in the camping area.  This is a trash-in/Trash-out campground.   You will also need to bring your own water as no water is available.  If you enjoy bird watching then you are in luck, plenty can be found at the lake and ponds.  Only two others were at the campground on my visit.  Campground is next to the highway but traffic appeared light.  If the campground where to be busy and you didn't get a spot with a picnic table you could take advantage of the parking areas in the area, their are several a short distance from the campground which have plenty of picnic tables to have a meal at.
