Lakeview Campground

One of the most beautiful campgrounds I’ve been to. We had a great view of the lake, I also work online and my star link had amazing service. It was quiet at night and the stars looked beautiful. The sunset and sunrise were also amazing. The road up is a little rough but after the first mile it gets less rough. We did hear a couple of gun shots but other than that very positive vibes.

Beautiful and quiet place to camp! There was a sign near the entrance saying the road was closed but it wasn’t, so I’m not sure when that sign was posted. A high clearance vehicle would definitely help you reach the campsite; we didn’t have 4wd so we had to slow down because there were several dips in the road. Some areas were super hot and had no wind, but if you scout for a downhill spot with better visibility of the lake, you can get more of a breeze. There are no restrooms or other facilities, but there is cell service for AT&T and T-Mobile. Thankfully we didn’t see any bears. Bring extra blankets or jackets because it gets windy in the night. And pick up your trash!

This is a nice area for disperse camping. I drove up from the south. Road is steep with curves. Once you past the vineyard, it is 5.5 miles of dirt, dusty roads. You will past an abandoned RV on the left as you get closer, less than 1 mile to campsites. Plenty of flat areas to pitch a tent. Watch out for dead standing trees. No mosquitoes during my stay there. I did see a black bear in the morning around 8:30am. It didn't know i was there til I closed my truck door. The bear was startled and quickly scuttled away towards the lake side, down the hill.

Fantastic Dispersed Camping. It is a relatively long, windy dirt mountain road to get to it, and it’s totally worth it if you have some clearance and patience.

We've been here a few days and it's beautiful, quiet, and remote. We didn't see anything indicating a campground when Maps said we arrived, other than some rock fire pits and trash from previous campers. You do need a permit to burn, including your propane items. It's free and easy to get online. Bring your own water. Dig your own toilet. It is recommended to drive a 4x4, but during the dry weather I had no problem driving my small sedan. The road isn't paved, but seems well maintained. This is our first dispersed camping trip and we heard this one is hard to get to. The lake view is spectacular!
