    Hog Lake Campground

    Nice Dispersed Camping

    Camp on area with no vegetation. Road is a lil rough but our outback handled it just fine. The lake is a short hike depending where you pitch your camp.

    RV Resort Four Seasons

    Very comfortable

    I called from 40 miles out on a Friday night on the 22 nd of August. High summer season. They were nearly full. They held a spot. Grass pad full hook up. Most of the sites are shaded by trees due to my starlink sat needs a clear shot at the sky I took a space in the sun. I was just traveling thru if I was staying longer go for shade. Its 85-90 this time of year. The people who run the place were very nice and the grounds are very well kept.

    I recommend it anytime of year!

    Hog Lake Campground

    It’s ok

    Eh. It’s fine, it’s a place to sleep. Stayed here for 2 days and there wasn’t much to do besides walk over to the lake. The views are fine, good sunsets but nothing too special. Most of the sites are in open spots with little shade and little privacy, if you show up past 5 you’ll probably end up in one of those. That’s where I ended up my first night, then moved to a spot with two trees my second. Kind of littered with trash just about everywhere. Broken glass in some sites so be careful. Came on a Saturday night and it was crazy busy, Sunday was calmer. Good AT&T service in the upper sites, not so much in the lower ones.

    Also there’s kind of a weird vibe? As a solo female camper I’ve been walking around and making sure to have my mace on hand lol

    Hog Lake Campground

    Surprisingly busy

    Nothing spectacular. Pullouts on a gravel road, dirt spots. Incredibly busy for a Tuesday night, people were pulling in all hours of the night. I’m guessing, like me maybe, they are pulling in for overnighters on a longer road trip. There’s not much to choose from in this area so we all end up here.

    Fishtrap Recreation Area

    Great for a night (rvs or trailers)

    Lots of cows and coyotes nearby. Parking area is a big gravel lot that works well for a night. Theres also a trail that connects off the lot. There were no fires allowed while we were there and no shooting either.
