Good overnight stop

No problem with Google maps to find it. The lake is pretty high and there are a couple of picnic tables almost in the water. With the water this high the road around the lake is maybe 12” above the water. I stayed near the boat launch. No one else was there.

Great view

The campsite was easy to find, there were 3 people there but the parking was good enough I never interacted. Gorgeous views for a quick overnight spot.

GPS COORDINATES INCORRECT

Went to go’s coordinates given and they are incorrect. Google rim lake recreation site and you will get better directions. Lake is pretty dry but it is nice and secluded. Have the space to myself.

Simple, Basic, Free!

I camped right by, what used to be, Rim Lake. Its all dried up now. The area was very quiet, I was the only one camping there. There were fire pits set up to cook on. There was a good amount of wildlife, birds, coyotes, deer. Its nothing special but a perfect place to post up for the night! I'd stop here again.

Basic, clean

This is a good place for using an ORV because there are trails up the mountain for them. It's a good place to fish, camp, and hang out. It's bars minimum out here. Nothing special.
