BLM campground

Nice views, but no water, fires allowed, but no wood collecting? and cow pies everywhere. They don't say you can't burn them though. Aspens are turning on the mountains, see the pic s, it's Oct. 6.

Dirt road leading up to campground was totally drivable but heavily washboarded at the beginning, so be advised if you're towing. Plenty of room for my 25ft travel trailer and larger rigs should be okay as well.

No water, power, or dump station, but there are individual garbage containers at each site. As others have said, you can get water at the North Lake campground, but there's a pass you'll need to buy to get in. I think it was $20 bucks for a year, and gets you access to a few other recreation areas further north.

Seems like a lot of people come to the campground for day use just to hang and look out at the lake. If you're staying long term, I'd avoid the overlook sites as there will be noise and traffic right there.

I stayed at one of the sites around the back which looks out at the mountains - not a bad view.

$9 per day when I was there.

BLM standard with a view

Your basic BLM campground with picnic tables and privies. $9/night self registration. No water at overlook, but there is water available from spigots at the nearby North Lake Campground (currently day-use only), if you get there before 8pm. The road in is winding and rough gravel but likely possible in a 2WD vehicle if it hasn't rained. Some mesquite for shade and privacy, and each campsite has an open roof over the tables. View of Santa Cruz lake is fantastic. No water, no trash, extremely extremely windy when I was there.

A little pricey

The view is cool if nothing else. Sites are accommodating for tents and rigs up to 30 or so feet. Trash cans are available, which is nice, as well as fire pits and picnic tables. There is a toilet available, however it's pretty gross. I know out-houses are not always nice but this one is probably the worst I've experienced in the year that we have been living on the road.
