Lookout Campground

We stayed overnight on site #4. No shade during the day, but sites #1-3 should have more shade. Flat ground for our large tent and a nice picnic table with a view of the river. Quiet and peaceful for no fuss camping. Paved parking and a small staircase down to the site. The reservoir was great to swim in. Wonderful campsite for a quick July trip. Note: Very little Verizon cell service - hard to get texts out.

We were at site 15 which was all the way at the end and was nicely secluded from the rest of the sites. We had direct access to the lake, but it looks like if the lake was low it would be a climb to get down to the water. No electricity or water so bring all that. Enough parking for 2-3 vehicles and a couple of tents or an RV. We had amazing views!

Not much to it, but it was decent for a couple nights stay. The reservoir was almost empty in late September, estimated at about 20%. Sites have picnic table and fire ring, there is water at a community spigot, and pit toilets, but that's it. My Verizon signal was weak but usable. Some trees for shade, and plenty of conifers on the slopes to look at. Also near the experimental forest.

Campground is not too bad if you don’t mind the lack of privacy. Most of the sites are out in the open with no shade or trees around. We camped the first weekend of September and the reservoir was empty. We were really disappointed since we chose this campground so we could fish and swim. Our campsite was also full of trash. There was no camp host. So I am not sure who handles the clean up or management there. No one from the campground checked us in or made sure we were the campers on the reservation. The primitive no-reservation sites are a little better. Next year, we will check out Mona Campground instead.

Had a great weekend there and the camp ground was right on the shore , also found a native arrowhead 1st night there which happened to be my 45th birthdsy , memories

Was looking for a campground that was open after many of the wildfires had closed most of the others. Came across this simple little campground.

Parked next to the Blue River Lake, gives easy access to the water

Not a ton of spots, but plenty of room for each spot. Pit toilets, and campfire rings.

Was nice and quiet there.

Nothing fancy, but a good out of the way spot
