About the campground
The elevation is 7,900 ft. The campground stretches around the north end of Green Mountain Reservoir. Although surrounded by sagebrush, the campsites are along the shore and enjoy morning shade from cottonwoods and tall brush. Unlike other campgrounds around the Reservoir, the campsites here are better suited to single family camping and not to group camping. Every campsite has nice view of the surround mountains and lake. The nearby community of Heeney offers some services and limited groceries.
