Great bird watching!

We drove our van right up near the water in a quiet nook. Spent one night enjoying the many shore birds, a beautiful sunset and a refreshing cool night. I would not recommend swimming in this active wildlife reservoir! Most camping sites were private, separated by sage brush, and did not have toilets, so best for self-serving vehicles- or if you are ok walking down the road a bit. Will have to come back for stargazing after the wildfires die down.

Siteno numbered sites.

Nice view

Didn’t camp just checked it out. Not sure you can swim in the water, didn’t have my water shoes on to try. It looked like more like a pond on shore could be mucky. Not a long drive in, didn’t look like a place to swim. Not a place we would camp.
