If you need a breather from Vegas, this is a great weekend trip! Great hiking trails and awesome views! Dog friendly! Restrooms and showers are clean! So many state parks in the area! Hour or less from Echo Canyon SP, Beaver Dam SP, Spring Valley SP, and Kershaw-Ryan SP. Town of Panaca is 15 minutes away if you need more ice or groceries.

This campground is just the best spot! A minute walk to the lake and spacious camping sites. Restrooms and showers were clean! Park rangers and maintenance folks are very friendly. I will definitely be doing this annually from now.

Just note that when going in the water, beware of the mud! It’ll suck you in. Deep in some areas. Also, if you plan to walk around the entire shore, we had to turn around a third of the way because we didn’t plan on scaling the rock wall and falling straight into the water.
