Back in on the roads to the farther out sites are loaded with rocks. Was able to make it up a way in nissan Altima nice and slow with a few scrapes. 4wd ideal. Not shade out there, obviously. But night sky view was extraordinary. Fire pits scattered throughout. Some ATV activity. Middle ground between Arches National and Cayonlands Nation Park. Decent t-mobile Reception. Good spaced primitive sites.
Campsites went back far from main road you turn on to. Took my Nissan Altima back nice and slow and couldn't access certain paths back to site without 4wd. Many fire pits laid throughout the grounds. Cattle roam freely throughout the property and you can hear coyotes at dusk and dawn. Plenty of exploring and climbing around. Although, pretty sure we encountered a side quest up on top of one of the mountains. Had my camera and was approached by a polite guy who said we were fine as long as we didnt take any minerals (quarts) since he owns rights to them. Then after a long chat he must of deemed us worthy since he gave us permission to pick up a rock or two on the way down and tip us a secret way to the tippy top. Was absolutely beautiful and peaceful out there. Had minimal ATV activities, I think I heard rifle shots once that week. One of my favorite primitive sites by far. Such a gem.
Up towards the parking lot was a kayak launch site and about halfway toward camp was a rope swing that can be accessed from opposite side. Camp was in a meadow at the end of about an hour walk in. Literally campsite is on top of trails and meadow provides no shade. There was two fire pits provided within the meadow but enough space for quite a few tents. Tons of traffic with Bird watchers and joggers. 8 to 8 seemed quite other than a dog that came barking through meadow in middle of the night. Nice river/ creek access to cool off. Not sure it was worth $5 a night but if you don't have dogs and don't mind the people walking thru it's a beautiful site. Nice for hiking trails.
There is a few sites free up to 3 or the large site up to 5 nights. Beautiful sites, fishing, and a boat ramp.
Amazing view, and great fishing access. Many places along the reservoir. Close to the road so traffic can be loud. Free to stay on most of the campsites along the reservoir aside from the boat ramp site. Beach front available but be careful of tides. My tent site was a max stay of 3 to 5 nights.
