Nice not alot of people windy n no shade but big and fun
It's a place only a mother can love, but has its own desert charm. Fossils plentiful for those who enjoy looking for them. Water levels very low in 2022. Some vault facilities but in need of upgrading. Mud around waters edge makes launching a kayak impossible as you will sink up like quicksand. Highway noise can be heard at night from entire area. Great views of the distant red desert Oregon Buttes area.
This is a great place to camp for free! Pretty much right off the hwy. Lots of privacy. Good place to get off the grid for a few days. Only downside would be no shade/shelter.
Beautiful area. Can't beat that it is free. However, there were 25mph winds with gusts when we were there. Maybe not a huge deal if you have a hard shell / RV but camping, was so loud. Bathrooms were clean. There were signs to not touch the water due to bacteria also.
Free camping! This is first come first serve. Note : bring your own drinking water or filtration. Bring sun shelter as well WITH TIE DOWNS. It's exposed and windy at times. There are bathrooms, they were clean and had toilet paper when I was there. Beautiful scenery! Enjoy.
