Blue Lake Campground looks fantastic. A camp in the desert... yet, looks the same as any Campground in any national forest... I love it... I will camp here here if the opportunity is present...

Beautiful spot. There's were so many mosquitoes that drove me insane, but I can't fault nature for being nature.

Very nice camp ground and well kept. Has bathrooms and running water spotted throughout park. I like the fact that you can pick your spot and then go sign in for that space. Well worth the $8.00 a day to stay. Lake is really nice and full of fish. Do yourself a favor and take a walk around the lake. You should see a lot of wildlife if you enjoy such things. The views are great, and it is a good place to sit back and have a drink and relax!! Well it is now time to update everyone as of 10/6/24. Now they do not allow OHV or ATV's in the camp grounds. They also do not have garbage cans, so if you have a large family you better bring a Bear proof can. If you are a handicap hunter like me, It turned out to be a worthless 360 mile trip. The camp ground was just about empty. Disregard the phots of my quad and deer that they still picture. I will never darken their park again. Also it is now 15.00$ a night.
