Just arrived and it's around 9pm, most spots full but I was lucky to snap up one of the last ! Feels safe, lots of people here, family friendly,and it's nice and quiet. Can't wait to wake up and see the views ! Edit*woke up early the next morning and found the natural hot springs just 15 mins away :) There's heaps around, these were named the Hill top springs
Beautiful view of Crowley lake here and the mountains around! $10 a night, first come first serve camping, lots of spots available when we came. They did provide bear vaults for your food but there we’re definitely mice around so we made sure the food was in a plastic container they couldn’t get into. The site has tables, fire pits and vault toilets.
Love it! Kid and I arrived 630pm mid-June 2022 and plenty of sites to choose from. Gravel road from entrance to your campsite but doable with a sedan. BLM land, $8/night, 50% discount if you have America the Beautiful & other passes (I forget which). Great views of Crowley Lake and McGee Mountain. Quiet, clean and well maintained road to/from and toilets. There isn’t a campsite where you won’t have great views. It’s up on a hill. The highway is between the Lake and campground but you won’t hear the traffic noise, it’s far enough that you’ll only be able to see traffic from a distance. The site is spaced out nicely and does have portable water pump.
Great stop for one night or just to catch up on things you need to get done or detach and go exploring there hot springs in the area and of course the lake.Had full bars for Verizon. $10 a night, picnic table,fire pit,bathrooms
Very dangerous place. When we camped there we found someone's self made shooting range right next to the campground. And at night someone was roaming around the campground yelling "I'll kill you all" and shot a gun.
Spent two nights here. Nice peaceful spot, Cheap and easy to get to. Good views of Crowley Lake and the Mountains. Sites have bear boxes to store food, a fire ring, a picnic table and lantern hanging pole.
Loved this campground. The landscape is just phenomenal. Potable water, pit toilets and fire pits. One star off because the entire 3 nights I stayed, there wasn’t toilet paper in the bathroom.
