Fishing enthusiasts and water recreation fans will find direct access to Alcova Reservoir at this county-managed campground. The $12 per night fee provides drive-in, boat-in, and walk-in access to sites along the water's edge, though campers should note there are no hookups or potable water available on-site.
Multiple vault toilets serve the camping area, and picnic tables come standard with each site. The terrain presents leveling challenges for RVs, as Merideth S. notes: "A lot of spots are hard to level a RV on so chose one you can level your rig on." Sites accommodate big rigs but require careful selection for proper setup. Leashed pets are welcome throughout the campground.
Families often explore the Dinosaur Trail for hiking, while anglers appreciate the numerous fishing spots along the reservoir shoreline. The campground stays open year-round, providing winter access when other area facilities close. Cell service reaches most sites, and campfires are permitted in designated areas.
For additional camping choices, explore campgrounds around Alcova. Consider bringing leveling blocks if traveling with an RV, as the uneven terrain can complicate setup on many sites.
