This popular state campground felt like a cross between an RV park and a state park. Large well kept spaces, but shared space behind each where people walk past to the restroom. More like a community, the way they are laid out. Host was great to warn us of coming storm to get the awning in. Dump station. Electric only site , made it tricky. Short stay okay

We had a lovely grassy and wooded space Hike to the lakeshore and marvel at the amazing rocks all around. PBS channels came through on digital scan TV - we love some TV now and then. Lightning struck in the campground while we were there in July. Power went out for a short time. Loud cracks of thunder, at the mercy of the powerful storms.

We stopped over for one night and found that the water is poisoned. There are large fish jumping; Possibly, walleye. It was a fine place to stay for the night as we were all alone. We did get have a huge thunderstorm go right over us! The wind that the seagulls were soaring on, just like at the ocean, was the forefront of the storm northwest to southeast.

Bath house was great. Laundry, groceries, gas on site. I expected more upkeep for the price we paid with a reservation 6 months in advance. The gravel sites were weathered and maybe uneven. That’s wild Wyoming I suppose.

Great electric sites with shared water. There are only 8 sites with full hookups. The shower rooms are brand new and the best I’ve seen. Almost worth five stars except the dump station is closed and mosquitoes are torturous all day and night.

We had to stay inside with the air conditioning on and avoiding mosquitoes in July. Maybe March is a good time. The dunes are cool and the observatory is a fun extra feature.

The unpaved road do have some wash boarding. We spent one night surviving a massive thunderstorm. Sadly the water is hazardous and has to be avoided. It’s was a quiet for good sleep with panoramic views and some wildlife viewing. Large fish jumping at times. Seagulls fly over like at the ocean.

The phone message says reservations only. We left a voice message that we needed one night only and received a call one we were in town. No cell, wifi, TV in the area. They did have space for us at the no contact after hours check in. $15 electric only. Pull through sites on the edge of the lake. Sites 29 and 31. Cons=no Verizon service, No Wifi, goat-heads stickers in dog’s feet in campsite, bathroom smelly near fish cleaning

Great FREE BLM space. We watced storms cells develop, then fizzle away here in late June. There are many spots to park and/or pitch a some tents on the sandy base surrounded by junipers. We found lava rock fire circles, but no fires are allowed at this time. Camp stove only (no charcoal). One other camper was staying in a tent on the bank of the pond.

This lake is empty now (2021) and it’s a nice surprise to cross the barren lake bottom to see many different terrains. Would be a nice discovery trip for kids finding lake bottom treasures. There are many active bugs here too, for the entomologist in you. It’s a well maintained and healthy forest with newly refurbished hook ups in the full hook up sites, and free showers. Primitive sites are also available. “Lakeside” sites would be my preferred, though we had many spots for hammocks in the shady forested sites, which is a plus. Some sewer hook ups are places oddly.

We spent a weekend here, and so did many families and dogs and hikers and bikers. One big group had a get together in the tent area. The park was not full when we arrived, and did fill up on Friday evening. We had full hook ups. The electric sites offer 50, 30, or 20 amp and seem recently updated. The walk to the lake was nice. The staff is great at maintaining the property. We found the spaces to be not private enough, and would avoid coming back on a weekend.

We stayed two nights but never could get on the lake. It opens Friday at 3pm (after checkout). I’m sure this is posted prior to reservation, but it’s surprising when visiting. We could reach the shore at the campground while camping WITHOUT our dog. Beautiful, grandiose views. Some sites need much leveling. I know which site to reserve next time!!

We enjoyed our 3 day stay here, but had a big dusty mess to clean up afterwards. Fishing revealed catfish and bass at the waters edge. A watercraft would be ideal; no swimming allowed. We parked on the lake near the road when gravel trucks worked weekdays. They did a good job of wetting down the road with water trucks. We might stay up on the “second deck” next time.

We were just passing through for one night. The spaces are level. It was good to take a hot shower and use the dump on the way out. The grounds could use some TLC. It has been a dry year everywhere. The check-in was uncomfortable as mask wearing was “not my policy” and I was accused of “slithering in” before closing even with a reservation.

We only spent one night, scouting out for a future reservation. It’s a well kept, gated community which includes cabins, cottages, pools, pickle-ball courts and organized community events like bingo, free waffle breakfast a few days per week. A taco truck showed up on this Tuesday, so we had an easy dinner option. The streets are paved, the sites are gravel with a concrete slab patio. A few end spaces have umbrella tables. Also, there are nice private shower rooms. Great monthly rates listed on website.

You must go through the main entrance to the Fort Churchill historical site to enter this campground. DO NOT drive down the gravel road that runs along the river. There is no camping at the historical site, only in Samuel Buckland Campground. It’s very nicely laid out, with some pull through and back in spots. No hook ups, vault toilets. $5 firewood at the Fort Churchill entrance, but no burning allowed at this time. We were nicely surprised to have water spigots at the sites (not hook ups). First come first served $15 per night and very quiet at night for a good sleep. Verizon cell service was not good.

We enjoyed this easy to find space for an overnight stop, thanks to previous review. Definitely take the middle road choice when starting out at the BLM office. Stop at the crest of the hill. It goes downhill from there with no turn around for a big trailer and is softer sand. We did arrive in the heat, kept screened windows open through the night, and awoke to a sand filled living space and cooler temps. Verizon service has 4 bars. A couple of quads rode past in the evening, and another overnighter stopped in next to us for the night.

We stopped in to review the campground for a future trip, pulling a 34 ft travel trailer with no problems. It’s located on a gravel road with a small portion washboard surface. Good for kayaking until October 1st. Then, closed to boating for the season. No swimming, no hookups. Fire rings available to use, but must bring your own firewood. There’s a trail at the south end of the lake. There are a few spaces for small vehicles only, but we found open choices today to fit our trailer. The highway runs along the campground, so there is road noise. We’d like to come back in a different season.

We drove in unexpectedly on a drive. The campground is usually open through October 15 according to signage. Today it’s closed for the season, construction and forest management. They are clearing and burning debris, so it should be nice next season. No facilities, and even the bathroom is closed today. The drive is beautiful, going out of and back into Zion National Park along the way, some gravel road. There’s a community store/restaurant nearby Kolob Mountain Community. It’s 77 degrees at the top today, while the valley floor is 95. You’ll pass by Blue Springs Reservoir with healthy looking cattle. Kolob Reservoir is also nearby. Keep driving past the restaurant to find it. We did not go far enough to see it.

10/15/2020 Location updated Thank you, Dyrt Staff

We followed the OLD directions link from The Dyrt app. This location is no longer listed as a camping spot on the app. So, follow the correct listing on the other side of the highway……Apple Maps said to go north of pin point, then head south on Co. Highway 125 which was washed out in places. May be okay for a high clearance van, but not our travel trailer in tow. This is just below the Mohave County Landfill. We gave up with many cactus spines in our tires. We had to return to I93 where we started. Google maps directions are from the south following Co. Highway 125 north. Possibly, this can be reached better from the south where Co. Highway 125 leaves I93 and head north. Or, the GPS marking is incorrect, and should be marking the west side of I93, closer to Kingman.
