The campground was a little disappointing as cows run all over and cow poop was everywhere. Additionally, unfortunately with the moth infestation the trees are all damaged making it unsightly and the caterpillars were everywhere, falling and crawling all over us. Being there with family altogether was great.

We enjoyed staying here. We were able to ride the rzr around and did some fishing and paddleboarding in the reservoir. The camp sites are a good distance apart and well maintained. We will be back.

Fairly large campgrounds with views of the reservoir. Very quiet and peaceful. Weekends had obviously more traffic but during the week it was secluded. Took a walking path around the water and across the road was a waterfall. Lots of cows, frogs and hornets. No bites fishing though.

Sage Hen Reservoir and Sage Hen Creek Campground have always been one of our favorite camping sites. We enjoyed our stay but the logging operation has really destroyed much of the scenic areas of the campground. I realize the dead trees probably needed to be removed but now there are numerous bare spots in and around the campground. Close to the water is still nice but up the hill is not. Antelope Campground still has its trees but I am sure future logging activity will remove several trees in that location too.

Sagehen is a nice reservoir for swimming, or floating. Camp host is awesome! Only down side is a lot of trees have come down recently, so some spots are more open and sunny compared to previous years.

Stayed in site 9 and it is a great little waterfront site. Camp host was awesome and had the site marked with our name and was ready to go. He swung by and checked on us a couple times and suggested nice hiking trails. The whole campground was very clean and well managed. The trailer Parking space is big enough for 35’ trailer ( mine is 25’) but you will have to un-hitch regardless. Just not enough room for a truck and trailer on the pad. The view of the reservoir is beautiful and lots of shade at this site.

This site is not a campable site. All of the trees have been cut down and are laying in the site. Luckily we were able to find a first come first serve because this spot is not usable.
