I stayed for two nights &amp; it was very peaceful. There’s one vault toilet (no other services) &amp; it was stocked but other campers decided to dump two bags of trash there so it got dirty. there was probably 30 other campers during my stay but there’s so much space, we weren’t close to each other.  Easily 100 spots to pick from, on and off water. Water is beautiful &amp; enjoyed it with the pup. Would definitely stay again! I had 3 bars of 4G AT&amp;T. Gorge area is beautiful. Be careful coming in as the road is rough but just take it slow and you’ll make it just fine! 

Wonderful two nights 

Those are nice dispersed campgrounds.  Although there were quite a few RVs while I was there, I managed to find a spot for myself with a great view on the reservoir.  It seems to be quite popular.  (Driving a subaru impreza hatchback with 5.1 inches ground clearance.)
