The campground is fairly small and the nightly rate is a little higher than some others, but the history, scenery, and secluded feel made it worthwhile for us.
We first stayed here the weekend it closed for major repairs in 2024 and returned after it reopened in 2026. It was nice to see the improvements already underway, and they’re still updating the park. The park can accommodate larger RV’s but if narrow winding roads make you uncomfortable then maybe rethink it.
The campsites are gravel with full hookups. Not a lot of shade but that’s expected in the desert area. Cabins are also available. The lake was very low during our visit, but the views and quiet setting were still excellent.
If you’re looking for a luxury RV resort with pools and activities, this probably isn’t the place for you. But if you want a secluded campground with history, beautiful scenery, and a peaceful atmosphere, Dam Site Campground is worth a visit.
