DO NOT TRUST GOOGLE TO GET YOU HERE IF COMING FROM DEVILS TOWER! Set a waypoint of Farrall, WY to get here correctly. If not, have fun visiting the cows on roads that are marked private in order to get to a road that does not even exist. The rec area itself is nice and all of the facilities are clean. Limited fresh water, but there is some near the entrance. Toilets are all vault style. Everything is done well.

Nice campground. Clean toilets. Couple of trails including one you can hop on right from the campground. Road from the Aladdin side is best. Follow USFS directions, not Google maps, from Sundance

The campground host Jim was available, on top of everything, organized, and very nice! We loved our site spot. It was clean, quiet, and our site felt secluded. The flies were pretty nuts, but it wasn't anything that we wouldn't come back to. GREAT area, and very enjoyable.

Great time at this lake, it's clean, quiet and we'll managed. We come here every year! Should come during spring and fall for sure to avoid the flies. Great ATV spot!

This place is amazing! We found it by accident on our way to Devils Tower and it was a great highlight of our trip. It was a little expensive at $25 per night. There is 10 miles of dirt road leading to it, but you won’t drive through prettier countryside anywhere else and the road was well maintained. I am not giving a full 5 stars because the campground host had THE LOUDEST generator that we could easily hear across the lake and up the hill at our campsite. He also was not very friendly and his dog barked constantly.
