Excellent spot. Calme. Et complètement nature. Stationnement à plat sans souci avec notre 32 pieds.

Loved this spot! This gps takes you down a really bumpy dirt road. There are spots near the entrance, but I kept driving down the dirt road and found a paved road leading to a dock. I parked near the dock the first night, then explored the other dirt roads around and found a nice secluded spot right next to the shore for the next night. My pup got to have lots of off leash time in the water because no one was around us. There were lots of people boating and playing in the water, but once the sun went down everything was super quiet. The highway is nearby but it didn't bother me. Had a nice shower afterwards at 7-eleven!

Great spot no one is here. Grab a shower in Blanding, 5 dollars unlimited hot water pay at the 7/11 the shower is at the rv park next the the 7/11. Then a short drive to camp. Some of the roads were a bit muddy and slick so walk it before you drive off the main road. There are spots that are good gravel if it is wet. I stayed by a small dumpster and was level and dry. I had 2-3 bars with a weboost.

Spent a pleasant night by the recapture Reservoir. I was the only one there. Woke up a beautiful sunrise & a lone swimmer in the lake. Big turn arounds sufficient for a 40 foot rig.

One of my favorite spots I’ve stayed! Can’t believe it’s free. Beautiful lake you can swim in. Dog friendly. Able to get around fine in my Ford transit extended (some bumpy spots but ok). Found a level area right in front of the water. Stayed 2 nights. There are bugs, so good to have a mosquito curtain.

Quiet spot just off the road. Not super level but we figured it out. Lovely views!

Pretty good place. I had a nice level site on the water, beside the ramp - south shore. A few noisy quads running around. The north shore might be quieter.

Nice spot off highway, pretty quiet next to lake...one large car camping/RV space as well as smaller sandy tent spots. No facilities, good for dogs.

Not a lot of level ground but if you have leveling blocks you’re fine. Beautiful spots on the lake.

Other than having zero data, it was perfect. So nice to have a dip and clean up after a lot of arid miles.

We stayed on the North shore. there is a shore line dirt road that connects to the northern road you drive in on from the highway. 5 or more spots all pretty well separated and flat. No toilet or trash cans on this side. No Verizon 4g, but a few cell phone bars. 4g available in Blanding and Monticello.

Stayed on South Side, most sites are along dirt/dusty tracks. We ended up moving to the parking lot by boat ramp in the night as huge storm came in, our chosen spot was exposed to the high winds and we were concerned about getting back out after heavy rain. Area is quite messy, lots of trash and evidence of people not using the vault toilet. Busy and loud until around 9pm with day users/boaters. Was great to have a swim and cool off!

there are spots on the SE, NE and NW sides of the lake. down by the water and up in the trees on the SE side where we stayed. windy, but a nice location and hiding in the trees helps. You can hear road noise, but not bad. no cell service.

4-5 spaces on the south side of lake. Worth checking the northwest side too as I can see a rig there. On the south side there is a pit toilet and also a garbage dumpster.
