Camping with dogs at Grayrocks Reservoir requires preparation for tall grass areas where foxtail plants can pose hazards to pets. The reservoir provides swimming opportunities for dogs during hot weather, though water quality advisories occasionally affect the area.

ScoutAlthough the sites are nice getting to them could be a problem. Alot of the access roads to the sites are washed out. Some you can get around driving onto the grass. I use tmobile and cell service was spotty.
ScoutThere is a sign at the entrance that states no overnight camping. And if you do decide to camp, there is a railroad by the river that have trains quite frequently.
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
RangerWe 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.
