Summary

Most sites are first-come, first-served; no reservations required. Basic amenities include pit toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables, but no potable water—bring your own. There are no RV hookups, but RVs can access many sites. Expect a peaceful, semi-arid lakeside setting with open shrub steppe terrain. Popular for fishing, boating, and birdwatching, with nearby hiking in the surrounding hills. Spring and fall are ideal for mild weather and fewer crowds. Campers love the remote, relaxed vibe and scenic sunrise views over the lake. Fees may apply at some campgrounds.

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.
