I hiked the loop and slept here. It gets buggy at dusk, time to hide inside the tent when the woods start buzzing and humming. beautiful views of the reservoir. 

nice

Getting to the spot is either a challenge or just a bit of a downhill hike. The rimrock side is a challenge and gets muddy and steep at points. The campground itself is nice and kinda spread out. Nice spots at the water and there were a lot of people there when my group arrived. Lots of friendly people and it is a nice spot by the reservoir.

A trek to get here, but it's nice!

Definitely worth the 3 hours hike from nearest car parking. About 32 camp sites First come first serve, $12 fee for each night. The water is ver beautiful to swim specially at night when the moon is bright. 
 

Very beautiful camps site 

We have camped at Morrison Campground for the last 5 years. There are approximately 28 primitive sites. While the surrounding area is somewhat remote there can be times when the sites are pretty full with luxury boat campers. If you are looking for peace and quiet stay away in July. Great hiking trails and good fishing. Abundant wildlife including Bears and Bald eagles. Each site has a picnic table and a fire pit with a cooking grate. There are two communal outhouses. Bring plenty of water and bug spray. Depending on the wind direction the stable flies can get pretty bad. $5 a day to park and $12 a day for the site. 4 stars.

Boat or Hike in access only 

Quite popular in the summer. The sites were pretty spread apart and I didn’t see any other camera from my site. 

Nice getaway!

We loved it here. I hiked in with my kids. Easy hike and doable with kids if they are used to hiking. Lots of spaces, but it can get crowded on the weekends. The vault toilets were convenient. It is bear territory so brought a bear cannister, but I didn't hear of anyone having any issues. 

Great Spot

This is a great place to camp except on holidays and weekends. It can get quite packed. If you want a spot for the weekend in summer show up Thursday. Some of the spots are less than ideal with little shade.

Great place, too crowded

Been here a few times.  Took my oldest so, 7 years old, on his first backpacking trip. It was hard for him but￼ persevered. Camp grounds are well dispersed for privacy. Each with a fire ring and table. Even a vaulted toilet which we discovered on our last trip. It’s kinda hidden, you may have to search for it.
