TravelerThe hiking trails are cool. You’ll see some bison, lizards, jack rabbits, and unique, for us, terrain.
Nobody in my family was willing to swim in the lake. Which is beautiful from a distance.
GuideAs beautiful as the view was, I felt it was ruined with all of the trash that people have left behind in the dispersed camping area as well as along the lakeshore. Tents, pillows, sleeping bags, glass, etc. There also seems to be majority long term campers who have a lot of stuff everywhere around their campsites, as well as 2-3 permanent residents living on the private property that backs up against the public lands. While there are 10-12 spots that are easily accessible, they’re being utilized by the long-term campers. Our first night here we arrived around 8 pm, right before sunset so we didn’t have a lot of time to explore so we just parked in the larger area near the public access area to the lake by 3 other campers. Luckily the next morning a camper van left so we were able to move without being on top of so many people since the people we were around all had dogs barking almost every time we let ours out to go to the bathroom. Overall, I felt like this campsite left more to be desired and took away from the beauty of the area.
TravelerThe coordinates in the Dyrt listing are incorrect. Use 40°42′53″ N 113°17′8″ W. Follow south end of I-80 overpass road which curves right (west) continue about a mile on bumpy pavement, the turn left just past a building and cross RR tracks. You’ll see a Knolls sign. Continue til you see the entry sign then restroom after that.
This is an ORV, so we heard a few of those, and faint highway sound, but it was otherwise good. Nice skies and stars.
ScoutThe surrounding area is full of closed roads making this spot inaccessible.
GuidePretty spot that smells like juniper and has a nice creek.
Minus a star for no running water and proximity to a busier road. I was the only camper on a chilly Wednesday night but had a surprising amount of traffic which woke me up a few times (my site was about 40 feet from the road).
Sites are nicely spaced, especially the equestrian sites at the top of the campground.
Full bars on Verizon. Small pit toilets. Clean and well kept overall.
ScoutThere are some unfriendly signs prior to your arrival but once you get here it’s a wonderful campground. A bit crowded when we arrived around 7:30pm but we managed to find a site without issue. There’s the standard campground pay pole mentioning a $20 fee but it seems to be welded shut so I assume this is free given it’s BLM land. Otherwise, two rivers running through, fire pits and picnic tables at each camp site. Saw multiple pull behinds and possibly an RV, lots of tent campers, and myself in the truck bed (as I prefer a real bed). Will definitely be back if I pass through again!
ScoutRoad was easy enough dry, imagine it would be tough after a storm. There are a number of well dispersed sites, some with good wind protection, others less so.
ScoutShowed up to book a RV site after checking the rates on the website ti be told they don’t have one. Rates are $40 after taxes a day and doesn’t change until monthly but even then not by much.
TravelerLovely scenery, water is currently off so no showers but has a clean pit toilet. Only downside was the no see um flys you can’t for a walk without getting swarmed by them and bitten. Best to visit in the autumn when the flys have gone
