Summary
Camping is free, but amenities are minimal. Expect pit toilets at nearby day-use areas; no potable water—bring your own. Some sites have fire rings and picnic tables; no hookups or dump stations, though RVs can access the area via dirt roads. The vibe is peaceful, semi-arid with wide-open lakefront views and distant hills. Popular for boating, fishing, and accessing Boysen State Park trails. Best visited late spring through early fall for mild weather and manageable lake levels; summer can be hot and windy.

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.
