There is an unstable edge along the lake resulting from flood erosion. Several collapses occured while we were overnighting. We camped inside of the road to avoid these areas. This site needs remediation after flood waters recede. Areas near the unstable edge outside of the road should have the usual USFS warning signs posted to protect people from themselves. Will report to USFS" - A visitor encountered issues with flooding, faulty facilities, and safety concerns due to erosion.

Great prairie campground. Not for the faint-hearted. As it is a wild place. It is tough to find an even spot for tents. Not much of any trees.. One small pavilion for shade do not plan on sitting under it from June through July as the cliff swallow have apprx 50 nests in it. So you will get splattered🙃 nice beach Areas. Not a lot of people, lots of space. Nice restrooms, and trash cans.

It's free, has bathrooms, has picnic benches, has cattle wandering through camp sites, lake, and it's free. Beautiful high desert view of the stars on clear nights. Clearly saw the comet that is passing earth, just below the big dipper in the sky.
