Customer Reviews

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Hey It's Me · Sep 2025

This place could use some caregiving. Sand burs are taking over. I had to overpay because the kiosk is not programmed to utilize my America the Beautiful 50% discount. Instead of a refund from visitor center, I was told "You can just stay longer"... Which, at least, felt rather disrespectful. Letting this place go to waste is also a shame.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Galen Yane · Jun 2024

the campground was very enjoyable but our tent poles ended up snapping during the night which did affect the experience. the lake was very pretty though but we didnt go in because it probably was cold. the temperature outside the water was good though. the night sky was also pretty

We are the only ones here. Very quiet. $10/night and there is water hookups and a dump station.

★★★★★ 5.0 Dao Tran · Oct 2022

Had zero expectations. $10/nt. Dry camping next to a lake. Was way better than any motel. YMMV. Easy check in kiosk next to the ranger station that takes cards. The high desert air was fresh. Nice level site. Saw deer at sunrise. TIP: Use red lights for the light attracted nocturnal insects. They aren’t mosquitoes. We really enjoyed our night here.
