We had a great overnight stay! We camped in our 4Runner and parked just feet from the waters edge, it was gorgeous!! We’d certainly visit again!

Simple and beautiful

This is a very easy place to throw a tent up or park an RV close to lake and good fishing. In some beautiful country.

There are some primitive bathrooms, and nice tables. The campsites are big. The only downside to this campsite is the road is close by and can be noisy.

Nice place to camp.

Great fishing spot I highly recommend. Picnic areas and tent areas too

Great spot 

Easy to drive to &amp; set up a tent. No shade but it got chilly at night &amp; in the early morning. 

Fine for some last minute camping

Been here for a couple days now , parked in a nice flat spot above the reservoir. They stock this with rainbow trout if your a fisherman. Great Verizon service here , mountains are beautifull. There is some road noise from 24 at times as it is quite close. But the scenery here is exceptional. 

Great camping on a pretty lake

This was a great little area off the road free to sleep. The sunrise was beautiful here with a
 great view of the mountains and the reservoir. Hope you don’t mind the sound of cows though. 

Convenient spot off the road

We stayed here four nights for a conference getting nearby town. It looks like they are doing work on the land on the southwest shore near the dam. So the only place available was the gravel parking lot near the picnic table and toilets. The vault toilets are clean. There was a steady stream of people stopping to use the toilet. But other than that it was pretty quiet.
