A beautiful place wen't for Veterans Day In November. The temperature was perfect during the day. It gets very cold at night I would recommend bringing firewood if you go in the colder seasons.
Beautiful, remote spot and accommodating, kind camp hosts. We took our three girls and the hosts provided a rock treasure hunt and even offered to let the girls paint rocks. We didn't get to paint this time as the girls got sick, but we will definitely camp there again. The water provided a fun area for paddle boards and the scenery was lovely.
It's always a nice place to stay. Dry camping by the lake is so nice. Beautiful sunsets, too..
We love this place. Come back often. Camping right on the edge of Colorado River. No other water or hookups. You need to be self contained.
Some highway noise, but not bothersome. A dog-friendly campground wit pit toilet restrooms, garbage cans, picnic tables and fire pits, all with a nice view.
