Summary

There are no developed campground amenities: no toilets, water, picnic tables, or hookups. Campers must be fully self-contained. Fire rings may be present at some sites, but bringing your own is best. Accessible by most vehicles, including RVs (no services). The area is remote and quiet, set in high desert terrain with expansive views, sagebrush hills, and proximity to the reservoir for fishing and birdwatching. Best visited late spring to early fall. Expect solitude, wide-open skies, and rustic wilderness camping.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
