Honey Lake Wildlife Area, located in Wendel, California, offers a natural environment for outdoor enthusiasts within the Campgrounds & RV Parks category. This area is known for its wildlife and opportunities for activities like hunting.
It's important to note that while some maps may indicate this as a BLM area, it is under the jurisdiction of the state of California. This means that standard BLM camping regulations, such as the 14-day stay limit, do not apply. Visitors have reported being asked to leave after seven days of stay. It is recommended to contact the area directly for the most up to date regulations.
The campground offers limited amenities. There is some shade available, but no water. A bathroom is located on the side of one of the ranger buildings. There are approximately nine campsites, which are reported to be more suitable for vans or smaller vehicles rather than larger RVs.
The area is known for its natural environment, including flooded zones. At night, when the wind shifts, visitors may experience the odor of rotting vegetation. The area is also used for activities such as pheasant hunting.

Map show this as a BLM area. And normally and a BLM area you're allowed to stay 14 days. Not here. Someone came by not in a uniform and told me that I had been there seven days and I had to leave. They stated that the area wish under the jurisdiction of the state of California. There's a little shade, no water. There is a bathroom on the side of one of the Ranger buildings. There are nine sites, none that I saw we're big enough for any type of RV except perhaps a van. At night when the wind shifts coming off of the flooded zones you're assailed with the aroma of rotting vegetation. I will not be going back to this location.
Pheasant hunted. Got 0 but had a good time teaching the young dog to obey hand signals.
A beautiful location!
