Great spot, busy.

Really neat campsite but super busy road on a weekend.

Camping on top of each other

Good access to the lake, but absolutely not dispersed camping. Unless you like camping within 20ft of strangers with their RVs and screaming kids, I do not recommend

Agriculture run off and dirty campsites

We pulled in to yankee meadows hoping to do some trout fishing and camp for the night. The main campground is closed, which is fine because we wanted dispersed camping anyway. There are numerous sites, but even on a Sunday night it was pretty busy. At the campsite we pulled up to, there was toilet paper on the ground with a whole human turd in there, and the creek running behind the campsite smelled like cow feces. Probably on account of the cows everywhere. If you're just here to sit outside and eat s'mores and can find one without human poop in it, this campsite would probably be okay.

Cow pond

Drove here hoping for some good fishing based on Utah.com's recommendations. This is basically a cow pond. It's probably 50% of it's original size, thick clay mud, and muddy swampy water with cows defecating in it. If you can throw a dry fly 50 yards and don't plan on eating the fish, might be worth it. Otherwise don't waste your time.
