Elevation7700 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies sagebrush-covered ridges in a transition zone shaped by volcanic activity and glacial carving. Golden sage stretches toward the reservoir, backed by distant pine and aspen forests at higher elevations. The reservoir dominates the view, its surface reflecting morning light and afternoon wind patterns. Sedimentary and volcanic soils create the varied terrain, from rolling hills to the basin holding the reservoir. Sunsets turn the surrounding ridges amber, though the open landscape means little natural shade at most sites.

Lodging & AccommodationsThe campground does not offer hotel-style lodging options. Accommodations are limited to campsites suited for RVs and tents.

Programs & ActivitiesThe Strawberry Visitor Center nearby offers interpretive displays, a working fish trap, egg collection station, and a nature trail.
