Great spot. Quiet until the weekends so plan your trip during the week. 

Jug Hollow Point 

Drove in at night. Don’t take 318 from CO and into Utah in the dark. Lesson learned. 

Nice quiet place to spend the night, can see stars if the weather is good. Decently flat ground, beach is rocky but clean where we parked (we parked just off the road before the beach). 

Would not recommend driving down the the beach when wet. Saw some sandy patches with ruts. 

Great 360 Views

Stopped here on the way to Tetons from Grand Junction, CO and after a midly harrowing journey through the pass on our old, large RV we arrived right as the sun was setting. Only regret was we didn't stay longer!

Note: our rig was a 33ft class A and the dirt/gravel roads on the way in can be difficult *especially* if wet/rainy. Would recommend caution for similar rigs. We were able to do it but we're also dumb and lucky :)
