I bet this place is nice on a clear night.  We were there when it was smokey from the fires in Western Oregon.


Nice quiet little spot for the night

The phone message says reservations only. We left a voice message that we needed one night only and received a call one we were in town. No cell, wifi, TV in the area. They did have space for us at the no contact after hours check in. $15 electric only. Pull through sites on the edge of the lake.  Sites 29 and 31.  Cons=no Verizon service, No Wifi, goat-heads stickers in dog’s feet in campsite, bathroom smelly near fish cleaning 

Nice last minute stop

DO NOT take S. Road G!  Go into Vale and take Graham to Bully Creek, it’s paved all the way.  The other road is 8 miles of rough dirt road through a cattle farm!  Sites well spaced out, reservoir is dry.  Decent showers, gravel sites, level.

Decent place for the night

Spacious camp sites with water. Clean bath house with great shower &amp; hot water. Picnic table &amp; fire circle. Isolated on hill top with grass spaces for tent &amp; open meadow fields. Amazing star gazing at night. 

Wonderful Quiet Campground

This campsite is OK considering there aren’t many choices in the area. My big complaints were the campsite didn’t have any shade, and when I spoke to the reservation person, she promised me during two different phone calls that I would have shade, and there was none to be had at ￼my site. Luckily I found a nice big shady tree to park my car under since I was car camping and wait under until it got cool enough to move to my site. 

A big thing to make note of is that they do have water, but it is a very high concentration of arsenic in it, which they don’t tell you about when you make a reservation or an any signage other than the bathroom door. This can be a real issue for people in RVs, who will be filling up their tanks with their water and may never hit the bathroom, so be aware!!!

The sites are nicely spaced out. It can be very hot in the summer here and my experience was it was very windy in the late afternoon and evening. 

Bring your own water!!!!
