This was the only camping spot we could find on the weekend. It was pretty packed here as many people like to fish Strawberry Reservoir. We found a decent spot to unload and set up camp about a mile in to Mud Creek Road.

There is a store down by the lake but you have to pay a fee to get in. We came prepared for our visit so we never went down there.

If you’re used to lower elevation camping, come prepared with extra warm sleeping bags or blankets. It was pretty cool at night (like down to 29 degrees at night). Check the weather beforehand!

We fished for trout and crawfish on the lake. The crawfish were easier to catch than the trout. We caught one trout (cutthroat) that we threw back and 4 crawfish. We caught the crawfish as we walked back to the truck along the shoreline. Our favorite spot to fish was ladders on the opposite side on the lake.
