The sound of jumping fish breaks the surface calm at this dispersed BLM campground, where numbered sites line the eastern shore of a former log pond. Campers park along the access road and walk short distances to lakefront spots, with site H2 among the most spacious options offering direct water access.
Road noise from logging trucks using the active quarry route punctuates the daytime hours, though evenings bring relative quiet broken mainly by what one reviewer calls "the 9pm daily goose choir." The pond itself holds largemouth bass, though shore fishing proves challenging due to submerged logs and accumulated fishing line. Nicki G. found "the pond was great for kayaking and there is plenty to explore if you aren't worried about a little elevation in your hike."
Sites vary considerably in quality and privacy, with the best lakefront spots filling early during warmer months. A single vault toilet serves the area near the entrance, requiring longer walks from sites farther along the pond. No trash service means pack-it-out protocols, though litter remains an ongoing issue. Cell service cuts out well before arrival, making this truly disconnected camping.
The access road doubles as an active industrial route, creating dust and noise during weekday operations. Fire restrictions often apply, limiting campers to propane stoves and lanterns. Sites accommodate both tents and smaller RVs on level ground, though the dispersed nature means amenities like picnic tables appear sporadically.
For campers wanting developed facilities, Upper Lake Creek - Hult Reservoir sits just minutes away with more structured camping options.
