Great spot to hike with some nice hiking trails. Be aware that no campsites have any shade and there is no water available at the campground, so don't forget appropriate shade and water supplies.

Just really crowded with Utahns — who well act like Utahns… and no privacy. You are so close to the Utahans you can hear them snore. They are used to it … but if you’re from Nevada … beware. Packed… just like driving through Slc or being in line at lagoon… or visiting any state campground in the state.

The facilities were clean and they now have a dumpster for campers to dispose of. :)
Was disappointed on the 4th of July when some people decided to let off fireworks in the parking lot! That was our main reason for being there that weekend to avoid the booms with our dogs. The camp host acted like he didn’t know the fire restrictions for our State and on Stage 1 of NO outside fires, NO fireworks!!! He gave a very I don’t care attitude :(
If you are a camp host you should be on top of these things and ensure the signs are posted and know who to contact in the event of an incident happening.
Thankfully myself and others stood up to the not so smart people letting off fireworks and stopped them from doing more and trapping us on a mountain due to a fire!!! One way in and out once your are at the lake.
Other than this one incident we had an amazing time hiking, paddle boarding, fishing and swimming. The views are amazing and the wildflowers are Beautiful! We have been coming for 10yrs. And will continue too. Our group of 20 had a wonderful time and rented 3spots. Did I mention the clear skies for stargazing and the milky way😁

Great campsite for tent camping
Beautiful location and swimming in the lake was refreshing
Only some day visitors who were fishing had constantly loud music which was really disturbing
Not all campsites have a level parking space which is difficult if you have a roof top tent like we have
But our site 15 was perfect for us

One of the more car accessible higher altitude lakes in the Great Basin. Peaceful beautiful spot well- maintained (except for the cows the camp host was cleaning up after). Lots of fishing going on
