We camp every year in this campground in September. Even though the reservoir is low we love the access to it and the beautiful views. Easy access to trails.

I was looking for availability in Hyalite and found this site open, this was our first camping trip of the summer. My husband and I have never stayed here before and found the campsite very pleasant. It had quite a few trees which gave us some privacy, and the campsites were spread out pretty good! The only downside was we were next to the outhouse which gave us the smell every now & then. It was one of the biggest stormy weekends, so we had a lot of rain with thunderstorms. But really enjoyed the breaks and took walks. We will stay at this campground again.

We arrived at the campground around 5 PM after driving from Las Vegas, NV. The campground is very nice, clean, and well-maintained. Our site, #6, is fairly close to the neighboring site (#8), but it was still comfortable and private enough. There are plenty of tall trees and bushes that provide lots of shade—we didn’t even need to use our canopy. On our last day, we took a walk through the meadow with our dogs, and it was absolutely beautiful. The views are stunning. The Camp Host, Tristan, was very friendly and helpful, and his dog, Cattice, was a delight to meet. We had a wonderful time here. The restrooms were clean and well-stocked with plenty of bathroom tissue.Overall,this campground made for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Highlights: Clean, well-kept campground Shaded sites with tall trees&bushes Beautiful meadow walk with amazing views Friendly and helpful Camp Host (Tristan) with his dog, Cattice. Restrooms are clean&stocked Would definitely recommend this campground for a peaceful getaway.
