Wonderful sites with electrical hookups in middle of desert
Nice campground with electrical hookups; nice bathrooms with showers. Sites that overlook lake are closer together but sites with mountain views were spread apart. Minimal trees but most sites had shelters over tables. Sites were First Come First serve but it looks like a reservation system is in the works. Most sites were occupied by evening despite being midweek and mid September. Not too far off highway 80 but far enough to feel like you are in a more remote area.
Not too far off the highway but you'd never know it!
General: 25-site campground with electric hookups on the South Fork Reservoir. A handful of sites are reservable but most are first-come, first-available.
Site Quality: All sites are gravel (except the Handicap site) with electric hookups; most appeared level and some have a view of the reservoir. Covered picnic tables with a windshield (in front of a tent platform). Water spigots are located throughout the campground.
Bathhouse: Individual unisex units that were decent but no soap or paper towels. The shower looked like it needed a good cleaning.
Activities: We were there on a blustery Sunday in May but in season, you can enjoy water activities. Nearby rentals are available for boats, jet skis, kayaks, and SUPS. Short trails to the beach which was rocky but walkable. The weather was not forecasted to be pleasant during our stay – a high wind advisory with rain and snow and temperatures dipping into single digits overnight, so it was difficult to imagine what it would be like in the summer with all the water activities going on!

Solid, clean, quiet
We really liked this spot in Nevada. The reservoir is a nice thing to walk to, not much more. A pretty strong wind came out of no where right as we settled down to sleep, so just be aware that can happen. All in all, not a bad spot for a stop along any journey.
