We had a wonderful time on our visit. The facilities were clean, well maintained, and fully stocked! Super nice and helpful staff. Beautiful fall foliage. Some of the walk in campsites are a far walk from the parking. So, if you simply want car camping, make sure you pick an appropriate site!
This was a great spot. We came the first week of October so, the site was totally empty! Besides day hikers and through hikers, we had a very private campsite with only squirrels to keep us company. Would totally come back here again!
Note for tent campers, the ground is very rocky, so bring appropriate gear and sleeping pads. The roads are also super rocky, so be cautious if you don’t have AWD.
Great, large campground conducive for both tent and trailer/RV camping. Different campsites have different amenities although each spot has a fire pit and picnic table. Only gave it four stars because the bathrooms weren’t open and we had to go off-site to get water. I don’t think they’d warmed up their pumps from the winter yet!
In was a dreamy March evening, Colton, Elliot, and Ed drove in to Bluewater lake state park at 9:30 PM. It was post staff hours but we were allowed to park outside and do an easy, flat hike into the camp site. Lots of clean, empty sites, plus clean bathroom . The campsite numbers were hard to find but it’s chill. Got super cold during this time of year at night, so come ready with hats, gloves, and sleeping pads.
Hi, it’s us, Ed, Colton, and Elliot visiting from Chicago. Got in late and struggled to find an open spot (tried lower and upper onion which was full). But tried this one and there was a few spots open.
It was quiet, couldnt hear the road that much, and very beautiful next to the river.
Stayed here for 5 nights on one of their tent campgrounds. Although the campground is mostly for RVs and horses, the tent space is a small shaded area right behind the main office. Besides the neighing of the horses, the campground was quiet. Everyone, including park staff and fellow guests was kind and friendly!
Lastly, and I left this until the end because it’s unbelievable: the bathrooms are VERY clean and beautiful! Definitely the nicest facilities I’ve ever seen on a campground! Will be staying here again!
One of the best BLM, dispersed campgrounds I’ve ever been to. Great for RVs, trailers, or tents. My Civic made it up the rough roads with no issue, we just had to drive around some potholes! Will be back!
Friendly staff, clean restrooms, quiet campgrounds. There is a drop box if you arrive after hours. Will be returning!
