Quiet campground along reservoir

Free, primitive campground along Capnip Reservoir in the Sheldon National Antelope Refuge. Backcountry permit not required to camp here. There are a handful of large sites, with metal firerings. Sites are level dirt surfaces surrounded by sagebrush. Can be muddy when wet. There are some tire ruts on the two tracks off of County Road 34A that you need to drive into the campground. 34A itself is a well maintained gravel road. Nice view of reservoir and surrounding hills. Very quiet. One vault toilet, clean & with tp. No water. Reservoir active with waterfowl & other birds. Coyotes at night. Fishing for cutthroat trout. Other than fishing and star gazing, there is not much to do here, but I really liked this location.
