Went to cowboy camp off season for free camping (blm). Was able to stay by the overlook but the actual camping spots were closed off by a gate. I knew this going there so it was not a problem. Hiked down to creek and was not able to catch fish. Sign said no trout species even lived there. It was nice to spend an afternoon there and sleep overnight however there was no need to stay any longer after breakfast. Pit toilets were open off season which was handy. Coyotes could be heard howling in the afternoon and night- very kool. Cowboy camp is much closer to the road than maps or internet show so there was considerable noise from cars passing. There were also several times when people pulled in and seemed to be up to suspicious activities. One car was a bunch of teenagers possibly looking for somewhere to smoke w33d. Another was a man, woman, and toddler- but after a while the man pulled out several guns although did not fire them. They left after about an hour but had us wondering if we were about to witness something sinister and if we should leave in a hurry. Overall it was an ok spot to get away for an afternoon and eat some hot dogs and sleep in the van. Probably wouldn’t go back to it as an actual camping destination. Its more like a spot to crash if you were driving home from clearlake and couldn’t stay awake.

Found this great FREE spot which is unusual for camping in CA. It was quiet and peaceful and we woke up to 30 elk on the hillside and cows on the other side.
