TravelerGreat fishing, mid sites
The reservoir had good fishing; we caught a couple tiger trout. We camped in early October and the algae was extreme.
The road out is dirt, but maintained. There wasn’t any signage with notices. There are plenty of camp sites with pavilions, picnic tables, and fire rings. The sites are mostly exposed and many don’t have even ground to park and level a trailer. There were a couple gem spots, but these were taken when we arrived. It wasn’t busy.
ScoutGood option
This is a good option for camping if you want a body of water but it's still winter or spring. Very busy with RVs but there is dispersed camping behind the resivoir. Good views. Good vibes.
RangerPrimitive, but not
I like that this locations feels primitive, but isn’t far from civilization. We went in March and it was a little cold, but we setup the trailer and the heater worked great. There are several dispersed areas around for the weekends when this place is probably crowded.
