Fishtrap Recreation Area

Law enforcement should be more present in this area. There's clearly signs posted about no firearms and yet people were firing away wherever they wanted. One person must have forgotten to empty his chamber of the last round because it sounded like it was fired in the BLM lot. Irresponsible usage in my opinion.

They should probably consider building a firing range and have a separate campground for the people who use it, far away from regular campers. If it weren't for the weekend gunfire, I would've given the place 5 stars.

Quiet spot. Designated Wildflower Viewing Area. 1-3 bars for cell service. The road in is washboard, so you need to go SLOW, but it's worth it. Gravel parking area, with pit toilet. No fire ring. Not a local party area, so that's nice. Sunset was amazing! Can't wait to see the stars tonight, since there's very little light pollution. Highly recommend!

Overall this spot was perfect we actually stayed here 08.09.21 however this app wouldn’t let me log in to give a review. Overall we loved it, it was a nice place to stay for the night. There was no one there when we arrived around 3pm to stay for the night. All though as soon as it got dark there were several cars that pulled up with telescopes to look at the stars. It was honestly so beautiful. We have Verizon and we had good enough service for me to do homework and my boyfriend to surf the web on his phone. Overall giving it a 4 star because the road was so horrible getting in… so washboarded we literally had to go like 3 mph so our RV didn’t shake apart hahahah

Stayed for a night to breakup a long drive. Arrived Monday evening and was the only one here. It’s just a large gravel parking lot with a single vault toilet, no other services. The road getting into here is very bumpy the last half mile so take it slow. Close to the interstate so easy to get to. Surrounded by fields and beautiful sunsets. Definitely would stay again! And it’s free!

We had planned on staying at hog lake in the Fishtrap area, but the directions took us to a dead end. So we doubled back and found a BLM trailhead parking area just up from the entrance to the Folsom Farm site. The parking area was level and the cell coverage with verizon was 4 bars. There are actually sites at the Folsom Farms location. Although only two or three I would consider big rig friendly. There is also a vault toilet and a large parking loop to turn around. Some of the "Pull Through" sites were no more than an attempt to make a place to park. The interesting part was the Folsom Farm back drop.

This is right off the interstate and super convenient. There is a sign that says camping closed on the interstate, but it's for an RV park not far from the BLM land. This land is open all year round.

The road in is pretty terrible, and we were a bit confused on where to park. Its just a gravel parking area with a pit toilet. The lit toilet is closed because of covid-19, but they've brought in a porta potty for the time being. Not sure how that makes sense lol.

We were surprised to be the only ones to stay , but many locals came in the evening to use the shooting range near by. There was some train noise too, but not too loud.

Verizon speeds weren't great if you need to work, but it's fine to watch Netflix and browse. Ping was usually 200-300, down 7.5, up .5. We got way better speeds around 11 PM, but the average speeds weren't great.
