Not bad, lake side and junk, people and their boats can be annoying, but it’s decent fishing and stuff. We just hung out and fished, swam, and kayaked! 

Decent 

Great dispersed camping. Beautiful views and we were able to launch our paddle board right from the shore. Homemade fire pits worked well. 

Beautiful 

First, I will start with this... there are spiders. Like a lot of them. They set up all over everything overnight and it takes about two hours to get them off of everything the next morning. If you hate spiders do not come here because it is kind of nightmarish. We only stayed two nights because after the third morning I couldn’t deal with the spiders anymore. 

The reservoir is gorgeous and clear. It looks so sapphire blue during the day. The weather was perfect. Hot during the day so the cold water felt amazing and cool enough at night to have amazing beach fires. Wind can be brutal. No shade so make sure you have a canopy. So many sites all over the area you just need to drive around to find one away from sooo many people. Public restrooms too but moths live in them which is just about as nightmarish as the spiders. 

Good for a couple of days.

Beautiful and great for rockhounds!

Serene, private, remote yet accessible and mosquitos. 

Words. Such as..

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.)

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 

We had the place to ourselves on a Monday in early May. We chose the bluff near the northern of two out toilets. We had a 270⁰ view of the  lake, an awesome sunset and an equally spectacular sunrise ( at least what I could see from the tent). Windy during the day but calm at night
