Dope place to camp for sure

Spring Valley has meadows camping, horsetheif gulch, an overflow for campers and a ranch campground.

While we were camping the Ranch campground was closed down, not sure if it opens when the other campsites fill up so they make sure people have a place but not really sure, all we know is when we were there it was closed.

There was a cool log cabin also closed due to covid so once again not sure....

anyway, such a neat little trail that you can drive up and see the ranger station and the cattle along the side of the roads.

These campsites are big and can fit RVs and tents.

electric hookups available.

A community library is available and tables.

each site is covered and has tables and grills. 

all the roads are gravel.

The lake has great trout to catch and hours of fun in your small vessel.

Bird watching at its finest and deer running through.

There is no phone service 

Family-friendly camping for sure and the rangers come by regularly.
