No reservations or permits are required, and fees are $10 per night. Amenities include picnic tables, grills, fire rings, pit toilets, and covered shelters at most sites. There is no drinking water or RV hookups, but small RVs (up to 28 feet) are allowed. The desert terrain offers stunning lakeside views, ideal for sunsets and starry nights.

Camping Essential Practices
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.
