Eleven Mile State Park

First camping trip here and it was amazing. From the hiking trails to the great front office staff at the check-in station everyone was great. Getting to your campsite was easy, they give you a map at check-in, explain where things are then you're off on your own for the length of your stay. Bring lots of water and firewood!

This is an amazing “birding” place in June. Pelicans, cormorants, herons and seagulls all come to a rock island to lay their eggs. You can paddle board or kayak around the island. The road is pretty rough, slow drive. Eleven mile canyon is a nice side trip if you can handle the road. The stars are unbelievable.

We didn't really experience the lake, just the campground, which was wonderful! There is a long gravel road to get to the lake, but there is a little general store if you need anything. In addition, there is a Visitør Center , with flush toilets, and a marina shop as well. Both of these places were closed when we went to visit, so I can't really say what they all have to offer. It did look like there were boat rentals available. The campground had numerous loops ( I think about 10!) with about 325 campsites. I have to admit, some were very close with little screening, but with a little searching, good ones could be found. We were in the Rocky Ridge Loop, which was higher up with great views of the lake, distant mountains and the surrounding landscape. There were even some trails l

Beautiful beautiful great weather! If u love the mountains, water, fishing or just walking around in nature! This is a great place to visit!

Eleven Mile is a beautiful reservoir, lots of different bioms. Fishing can be a little challenging, but there are some absolute beasts in the lake. I don't have many photos because they just don't translate well.
