Love Cane Loop. Enjoy the views of the lake from the camp site. Bathrooms are very clean. Campground is clean.

Spaced out, great views with lake, red rock and four peaks in the background. We were tent camping. I guess the only gripe I have is the noise from the generators but other than that it was quiet, beautiful and the night was perfect to see all the stars (especially since there was no moon). We didn’t see anyone on the lake but it was cold. My kids were able to fish for a little bit and utilize the playground which was nice. I took off one star because the campground host was MIA and we wanted to purchase firewood the first night we were there. I suggest you bring your own. Other than that, it was great. We plan on going back because we left a day early due to the rain.

Nice desert campground. Little shade. Hopefully showers will re-open soon. Be sure to bring your own water.

This is our winter "go to" spot.
Fun fishing on northeast shore of campground. (We stay at Teddy bear which is closer to the fishing spot).
Great hiking trails around and through the campsite.
Great cell service (T-mobile). We can tether off our phones to stream to our Tablet, Shield or Roku to watch tv shows. If it does drop then simply go to airplane mode and then back. It will come back. (It is a boondock so we set up 400 watts of solar and the two house batteries are charged by noon).
Free dump station on site.
