Incredibly Beautiful

The lakebed is out of the way enough that it seems to be often completely abandoned. It’s quiet and striking and I had a nice clear, still night to appreciate stars like I don’t often see them. Bring water, and wood if you want a fire and you should be good. There’s one little fire ring built up of stones. I imagine you have to watch for rain as the bed of the lake is clay and a turn in weather could spell for a messy exit at the least. I had decent Verizon service, but it didn’t reach the back of the lakebed.

Elevation 4020ft

There really should be a spot to enter elevation on these forms. This time of year it makes all the difference in the world.

Beautiful Spot

Great spot just before Hole in the Wal About 1/4 mile down a road marked “4x4 high clearance only.” But if you’re just hitting the campsite you can make It in a lot less. There’s a turn around there for people towing trailers. No facilities, just a fire ring, red rock peaks and quiet. Absolutely stunning.

Correct Location of Merimwether Lewis Campground

This is pinned wrong on Dyrt. If you clicked Waze directions on the other pin and you’re heading down Jennie Smith road, you’re heading the wrong way.

Sites a little closer than I like and no showers, but the ride in was beautiful and it’s free. Good place for a stopover.

Tranquil Off Season

This place is great. Came in off season in March, not expecting much. Many camps closed for season. It was beautiful, quiet, with running water and bbq pit at sites and hot showers in the bathroom. Perfect for a short stop over on x-country trip or offseason enclosed camping.
