Boaters and anglers find direct lake access at Tough Creek Campground, situated along Boysen Reservoir within Boysen State Park. The gravel and sand sites include concrete slabs for picnic tables, though shade remains limited across most of the campground. Sites spread far enough apart that generator noise from neighboring RVs stays manageable during hot weather.
The campground provides vault toilets, fresh water from a pump, and a dump station for self-contained RVs up to 500 feet. Each site includes a fire ring, picnic table, and designated tent pad. A playground serves families with children, while the lake offers opportunities to cool off during warm days. Wind picks up regularly, though Kim B. notes it's "offset with river sounds" from nearby Tough Creek.
Reservations through ReserveAmerica.com secure sites in advance, though the booking system requires patience to navigate. The $10 nightly fee covers basic amenities without hookups. Campers report ant activity around sites and occasional mosquitoes near the water. Highway noise reaches the campground but diminishes at night when temperatures drop. The location works well as an overnight stop for travelers heading to Yellowstone or those seeking lakeside camping with fishing access.
