Not the worst, not the best

Pros - t-mobile had okay service. Plenty of space to back in. Beach is a short walk away. Trash and bathrooms available. Lots of people reserve spots to park their extra vehicles so you might not have any neighbors. You can break any and all rules because nobody is there to enforce them.

Cons- no camp host onsite. Calling the numbers provided get you nowhere, including the sheriff’s dept. Most people don’t follow the 6ft leash rule for pets, I had lots of dogs run up and jump on me. Lots of people screaming after their dogs running off. Someone was in my spot and I had to wait over an hour past check in time for them to leave - I tried flagging down a ranger driving by and was ignored.

Easy boondocking

Stayed 13 days. I came from the west and had no problems getting my 23ft camper up the mountain. There were a few people that stayed in a tent for a night or two here and there, but I didn’t see any other RV/Campers so every spot was open. Trees fall easily so if it’s windy be careful where you park. You do need a land pass to be here, the website is on the sign coming in and it was around $60.

Great spot to boondock

There are flies, atvs and trucks that drive around the lake, and cows. If you can deal with those things then this is a great spot! I was left alone, few other campers here and there but we all had plenty of space. I stayed 14 days and would stay again. Some towns nearby too. Gas is really close. The Loves in La Junta is tiny.
