A little off the beaten track this campground is so quiet and beautiful. Picnic benches are in enclosures ( wind?).
Nice clean vault toilet and a hand pump for water.
Most areas seem to have a bit of slope
There’s no actual sites except that there’s tables

Beautiful view of lake and mountains. Picnic table under cover with protection from the wind and fire ring. Close to 15 but no road noise. Road in smooth, easy 2ish mile drive from 15. Will stay here again! Able to stream with Verizon.

We stayed here one night on in April and were the only ones in the campground. Water was shut off at the pump. We had stopped by the Lewis and Clark Campground on our way in to fill up with water, but they were closed. We had a great spot with a view of the (frozen) reservoir.

We stayed here one night on in April and were the only ones in the campground. Water was shut off at the pump. We had stopped by the Lewis and Clark Campground on our way in to fill up with water, but they were closed. We had a great spot with a view of the (frozen) reservoir. It was really windy while we were here. The bathroom was clean and we didn't see anyone else while we were there.

Stunning location on the reservoir with green mountains all around. Easy to find with GPS coordinates. Great cell service (including Starlink). Vault toilets were very clean. Dirt road coming in is well maintained. You need to be self-contained. Spots are narrow and could be cleaned up. It was very windy the days we were here. Swarms of bugs everywhere - they would hand out on the leeward side of the rig but didn't bite - just annoying. Didn't see any mice or snakes like others talked about but we put out mothballs under the rig to deter any that might be around. Very quiet and peaceful.

Can't begin to say how much we have enjoyed staying here. We're only going to stay three nights but just could not decide to leave. It does get windy but the view out our trailer makes it easy to hunker down.

This was a very nice campground with close access to the water. It got busy on the weekend, but by Sunday afternoon we had the place to ourselves. Saw only one rattlesnake along the road. No mice, but there were a few chipmunks. Good place for bird watching. Only drawback was the lack of privacy between campsites.

We absolutely loved it here. We were here late July, and as another review said.... mice and rattlesnakes. But that didn’t scare us away. We had a blast kayaking on the reservoir and hanging out on the beach.
There is pump water, but it was no good. Came out brownish. We ended up going to the pay RV spot when you first come in, and just pulling up to a spot and filling jugs. That water was very chlorinated.
The pavilions with picnic table were amazing, especially when it was windy. Bathrooms and trash area was kept very nice.
The road coming in was just fine with out 30ft TT. We could have fit in any of the spots as well.

The campground has established sites with clean vault toilets, nice shelters, picnic tables, trash cans, fire rings, and a well water pump. All for free!
Access is down a smooth gravel road and it splits off for two different options. The sites on the right were our favorites but they all were nice. Big rig friendly and there are group sites available as well. If you have a boat there is even a campground on the island. Your own free, deserted island with high speed internet!
The interstate is barely visible off in the distance which means FAST internet. We have AT&T and Verizon and both were great. There is a nearby pay campsite with full hookups for $10/night that has a dump station. We were able to fill up a few jugs of fresh water there for free since we weren't sure if the well water is potable.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Our only complaint was the wind! This isn't surprising given the proximity to the Continental Divide but it did get a little annoying sometimes.
