Set in the rolling sage grasslands of the Great Divide Basin, this reservoir becomes a watery oasis under the bright summer skies. Fishing for trout in the reservoir and surrounding streams is good; this is also a popular non-motorized water sports area. This is a free site with 5 campsites, vault toilets, boat ramp, and day use parking. Campsites have picnic tables, fire ring/grills, and parking spurs with no pull-throughs. No horses allowed in campground. Typical use season is from June 1st through November 15 because access roads become impassable after heavy rain and snow belt wherein they get extremely muddy.
From Rawlins, take Wyo 71 south aprox 13 miles and turn left on BLM Road 3418. Go about 3/4 mile and turn right into the campground.
Be warned that the road leading to this place is currently closed. But I went here last year and it's beautiful.
We stay for 2 nights September 2018. Very beautiful and quiet stay. Can get VERY windy.
Gorgeous campground. Be careful of high winds during storms- if I were in a weaker tent it would have been damaged. Bring windproof matches. Great location for stargazing.
This hidden quiet spot is old! The fire pits were made out of old rusted misshaped culvert cut and put on end in the soil. Very old rusty grills, some of which are simply rusted out and in disrepair. Some camp spots need to be releveled and reworked. Why 5 stars? Good road to the reservoir, very quiet, remote and relaxing. Just one spot big enough for large campers. Pit toilet very clean and well taken care of. No shade but not necessary in Sept. great for solar users and boondocking.
