Summary

There’s no drinking water, hookups, or dispersed camping. RVs are allowed, but without hookups. Camping is first-come, first-served—no reservations or permits needed. A small fee may apply. Set in a scenic, semi-arid landscape of grasslands and red rock bluffs, it’s peaceful and lightly wooded, offering lake views. Nearby attractions include the multi-use trails of McClellan Creek National Grassland and the lake itself for fishing or kayaking. Spring and fall are ideal times to visit for mild weather and fewer bugs.

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.
