It’s a bit off the road but the spot overlooking the lake was really quite lovely just happens the day we were there it was very hot and windy and there’s very few trees. The park is clean and the lake looks inviting but again while we were there there was a red algae bloom that could cause swimmers itch.

Our family camped at White Sandy for our annual family campout. The camp hosts were wonderful, and the restrooms were very clean and lit up at night. I do not think we will camp here again for reasons listed below.
1. We arrived to find out that we were not able to put 2 campers in a 60 ft spot. When making the reservations I was told we were allowed to put 2 campers in one spot as long as it didn't exceed 60 ft. we parked our pickup next to the camper and put a tent up in the bed. When the BLM officer came, he informed us we were not allowed to do this and would therefore have to pay extra. He handed out a list of rules for us. We informed him that this was ok'd prior to our arrival, and I was even placed on hold when making reservations so they could verify this was ok. We told him we were not going to pay extra if Recreation.gov and BLM couldn't get their rules consistent, He stated we would have to take the tent down on the back of the pickup as it was considered an extra unit. We were told to take our tent down off the pickup as it was considered an extra unit. The definition of tent on recreation.gov is Tent
A portable shelter generally made of cloth, supported by one or more poles, and stretched tight by cords or loops attached to pegs driven into the ground. So not sure how they figured this was a unit.
It would be nice to have all camp spots have electrical hookups!!!
2. The drinking water is ABSOLUTLY gross and smells. It says it is drinkable but when filling jugs after a short period of time it turns orange. We ended up getting our water somewhere else.
3. Very few trees for shade and the lake water was gross at the beach area.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
