Twenty Mile Beach

Large rigs need to stay on the main gravel or dirt road. Smaller or lighter rigs can venture off the road at their own risk. There are plenty of spaces either right, dirt road, or left, gravel road from the main road off the highway. The roads are full of washboards but take it slow and it’s ok. I stayed in the first turnout left of the T. Most sunsets and sunrises shouldn’t be missed. There are LOTS of opportunities to get stuck if you go off the main road. Deep sand and dry ground that’s only dry on the surface is everywhere. Summer temperatures ranged from 70~95+ every day. Most days the wind came up in the afternoon into the night and ranged from about 10 mph to gusts in the high 20 mph range. This isn’t a water recreation lake. ATT coverage was 4 bars of LTE. Highway noise was next to nonexistent.

On April 1 there were 6 rigs total. Trailers, RV, van and tent. One outhouse was closed, not sure about other. Only a few tiny flyers at sunset. Quiet, road noise not noticeable. Minimal wind. Spot on gravel, close to shore was really pleasant. Some areas of deep sand. Access via washboard gravel slope.

Some tosser left trash including shirt in fire ring. Otherwise clean.

Definitely a great layover option.

What a beautiful hidden gem. We stopped here for the night. Not many others around. Great pullouts on firm ground, pretty nice gravel roads. We decided to try to get closer to the water. Don’t do it without 4x4. We got stuck but a really nice local who was nearby, helped us out (THANK YOU DAKOTA!!). The lake is beautiful. It’s a salt lake and you can reportedly swim in it, though we didn’t. There are toilets. No plumbing. No hookups. No trash bins. Pack it in, pack it out. Dropped a star for the soft sand, the high evening winds, and a little road noise from the highway. Otherwise, it’s fabulous.

This is dispersed camping with beautiful views of lake and mountains. It was an easy on/off the highway onto decent gravel road. We set up on the North end of of the camp with a commanding view of the lake and mountains. It was a real treat as we woke to the morning sun.

Very good overnight, I would definitely stay again if passing through.

Just about every road except for the main road is sand and you can easily get stuck. The main road is nicely packed. It smelled like poop, and there was a good amount of nats/mosquitos. The water looked slimy green up close. Nothing I would ever get into. Right by the highway so of course you have some noise but wasn’t bad. Stars were out and poppin and you could see the Milky Way. Great sunrise over the mountain tops

More mosquitoes than I've ever seen anywhere. Feels like you're walking through sleet, only its bugs. Gross.

I heeded the prior reviewers advice and didn't head down towards the beach, and I'm glad I didn't. People were constantly getting stuck in the sand. Do not go down there without 4wd and a good idea of how to drive in sand.

The area offers no protection from the wind and it was gusting to over 50 mph.

Despite the dumpsters, there was dog poop everywhere.
