Lower Penstemon campground offers a clean and quiet environment, often with little crowding, making it a great spot for campers. Visitors appreciate the beautiful natural surroundings, including a nearby creek and sightings of wildlife like moose. However, some facilities, such as restrooms and water access, need improvement, and there are occasional issues with flies and website navigation for reservations.

This site is not maintained at all. The pit vaults could be smelled several feet away from them and looked like they hadn’t been touched in weeks. There is no water though there are pumps. We ended up leaving as sleeping in a site where you can smell fecal matter coming from the pit vaults was beyond disgusting.

Right off the road, which was surprisingly busy for being way off major highways. Most of the campsites were reserved but only 2 (including mine) were actually occupied. My campsite had limited parking and no flat spot for my small 2 person tent.

No fresh water was available at either Lower or Upper Penstemon. Had to drive several miles up the canyon to Diamondfield Jack to get water. The picnic table at my site was very dirty. There was litter in the site. Some can only be blamed on the previous campers but there is no excuse for the lack of water.

Camping is located at side of very transit road. No water at camping. Not very good place to spend the night.
