Ok so this place is amazing no matter which way you slice it up. Make sure you have bug spray and where the brackets that protect you from anything because your in nature as well... could get hit by things. I read the reviews before we came and I made sure I was double prepared... I sprayed the outside and inside of our tent and my family and I wore the .88 cent mosquito bracelets and didn’t get attacked by anything. Soooo make sure you are prepared... I also like to use a lot of essential oils when it comes to my kiddos.. lavender and peppermint... those do the trick too!!! Anyway they have a dump station right before the lake.

They have wild turkeys running around, all little Creatures running a muck, eagles soaring and bluebirds flying. When the wind hits the trees it’s majestic as can be. Up the street by the water they do have bathrooms, a lot of people use those so a hidden secret go to the camp ground ones they are cleaned and have showers. But over all of you have a big rig, group of people or maybe you just can’t afford the other camp site this place works out well.

Ok

Went in May 2020 during pandemic so options were very limited. We got to be in nature and was only a mile away from eagle valley reservoir (fishing) so happy enough but now that other places are open, I don’t find myself ever staying here again. Bathroom very dirty but I’ve seen worst. Got eaten alive by no-see-ums and found out I am highly allergic.

Beautiful tent camping site from BLM

I happened upon this campground by accident and so happy about it. There is a sign warning that the grounds are not suitable for RV or trailers so it's perfect for tent campers wanting to get away from that. The campground is set just off the highway leading to Spring Valley State Park. It is a small campground but is surrounded by untouched natural beauty. All of the sites have picnic tables (not covered), fire pits and grills for cooking. The sites are pretty good sized and set far enough away from each other to give plenty of privacy. There are tent pads at some sites but all sites seemed level and spacious. There's easy access to the bathrooms. Bring in your water as there is no access.

Hung over from vegas and wound up here

After a long night of drinking in Vegas we wound up here the next day. Nice BLM land campground very primitive and perfectly secluded. I believe all there was here were vaulted toilet and thats about all we needed. Depending on where your heading to and coming from its a decent place to spend a night.

Hiking, fishing, kayaking are definitely options here..but we had one to many cocktails galavanting around vegas...
