Weather patterns include significant wind, particularly around the reservoir areas, and summer temperatures can be quite warm.

"The gps will bring you down a 2 track road on the edge of a field there is a sign that says keep out. Ignore it that is for the field not the road."

GuideFirst come, First Serve. $25/night. Level pads and easy to back into. Creek running behind the campground. Public Internet is available. There is a train nearby, but the whistle is not too loud. Would stay here again.
GuideClean and comfortable for dry camping. It doesn’t have any restroom but it does have a water outlet. Blue skies and birds all around. It’s a pay at the kiosk and charges higher for out of state visitors.
TravelerWe loved it here, nobody else camping close to our site. Water was low we sat in the trees peaceful lots of geese roads to campsites are bad big pot hole. Nice sunrise and sunsets. We stayed 2 nights would recommend
GuideWe stayed one night at a power plug in as a treat and then moved to the no reservation area for a week or so closer to the water and had a wonderful time. Super soft sandy roads coming into the camp sites so had a few times getting our car stuck, probably not the best in that area for heavy rigs. The walk to the water is surprisingly long lol but lovely. The water was warm and pleasant during August. We had a wonderful time on the weekdays, weekends were a bit loud due to other campers. The Marina restaurant nearby is cute and everyone is really nice. Check out the nearby trail in the dam area. Trash on the way out which is great. Self serve pay.
GuideWas weird camping by a golf course, small cute, clean area. Had electrical and water, no dump station. Nice dog park across the pond/creek/river and access to a trail system that took you to historical sites in the area.
Could not book online need to go into golf house to reserve a site. They will give you a sticker/paper to put on your camper. Glue did not come off when peeled the paper off the camper.
GuideI stopped here on my way from Florida to Shoshone National Forest. It was very convenient and provided water and electric. All the sites were back in but with plenty of space.
TravelerMultiple pull outs and super close to the water, only down side is a lot of cars driving past and can be pretty loud. Other than that wasn’t a lot of people on Labor Day. And bathrooms are only near the boat launch not near camping.
RangerWould be 4 stars if there were at least some kind of direction. The first entrance you come to is technically the end of the campground if you consider the higher number sites being the end. The second entrance has a line of dumpsters and starts with the camp host. There are no signs at the forks telling you which numbers are which direction. So we guessed and thankfully were right. Although the gravel road is mostly smooth for a gravel road there is a little washout in some areas and we'd prefer not to drive around the whole place just trying to find our spot. Only saw one sign while riding our scooters through the park that indicated a set number of sites in the teens so make sure to save or screenshot a map. Its not a huge campground but who really wants to drive the whole grounds. Vault toilets dotted throughout but we never used them. There is for sure a water fill station at the first entrance. We were already full but someone was using it to fill when we drove in so it appears to be in good working order. Dumpters at both ends. Newer boat ramp and plenty of parking available for trucks w/ boat trailers either in the paved lot or on the beach. Rangers with invasive species check station in operation. Water level was very low during our visit but still beautiful. Was also clearly stated on the website along with other alerts such as the bloom and fireban. The bloom did not seem to affect the area we were at. The water was clear and clean. Our site #4 very large pull through and its quite sloped. We had to use 3 blocks on the right side to level. Can see the water through the trees. Every evening the deer made a loop around us for dinner grazing. They even came quite close. Very cute. Only other complaint is some of the people would drive by quite fast and kick up a lot of dust. There is only one dump station for the entire park located at the park head quarters after shelter point campground and the marina.
RangerRight of rt25 in Wheatland with beautiful mountain views. Super friendly and helpful owner would definitely stay again. Very clean laundry/bathroom building. Gravel dirt lot with cement pads, full hookups and picnic tables. Very long sites can accommodate big rigs. I reserved by phone a week in advance. No credit cards so bring check or cash $60 at the time of my visit.
