Amazing Trip
Beautiful Campgrounds, the views in the day are amazing and the star gazing at night is breathtaking. The lake is not big, but the fishing was good. Campground is very clean and maintained, the bathrooms are very clean, and staff cleans them daily. The Park Ranger was extremely kind and helpful. Already have our next trip there planned.

Too warm for fishing, but relaxing nonetheless
As a tent camper, this place is well manicured and most tent pads are level. I prefer Echo Canyon campground to this neighboring site, but due to the lack of water at the Echo Canyon Reservoir, we decided to come here instead because we drove 3 hours.
Time of the year: July 13-16, 2022
Cost to camp: $15 per night
Reservations: First come
Site: 21. Around noon, the sun exposes the west side of the shade structure. So, remember to move your coolers as the sun moves throughout the day. This site is located at the very end of the entire loop. It is nestled up against the mountain, where you could possibly hike it, but it was too hot. There are no water spigots at the site, but 2 sites down there is a community water spigot and the flushable toilets. There is a fire pit only, so bring additional cooking gear if you don’t want to cook on the grill grate on the fire pit.
Restrooms and showers: Yes, to both. However, the showers are in the lower campsite area.
Water: There are community spigots throughout.
Firewood: I didn’t see firewood for a donation.
Handicap accessible: Yes, there were a few.
Stargazing: it was cloudy and it rained for 3 nights.
Fishing: Yes. We tried at 6am, 1 pm, and 7pm, but we didn’t catch much. There was an occasional catch by others, but it wasn’t what I remembered. Worms and green Powerbait were the winners of the season.
Bugs and such: Tons of flys at this time of the year. You must have bug repellent!
Temperature: Rain wasn’t forecasted, but during the day is was about 75 and 67 at night.
Other: If you need to get ice, drinks or food, there is a store and bar to get additional supplies. The neighboring town, Pioche, had a small grocery store and 2 gas stations if you need them.
Overall, clean campsites, but too warm. I’d go back in the spring.

Awesome place!
This is one of my favorite places to take the kids! This campground is well kept with lots of sites. The bathrooms are amazing newly remodeled for the lower campsites. There are tables and charcoal BBQ grill at every site. Every night the deer come down to graze in the field. So between 4-5pm i take the kids to watch them! The grounds keepers are so nice and helpful 5 stars for sure!!
