What campers say
Mud Lake Campground is a small, scenic group site set in a pleasant outdoor area popular for day trips, riding and rockhounding. It has only about six small sites, so space is limited and larger trailers may not fit comfortably. Amenities are minimal; some visitors report no potable water, so bring supplies. Reservations are handled online. Seasonal conditions can affect access — heavy snow at times makes camping impractical. Overall it offers a quiet, natural setting for small groups willing to trade comfort and space for scenery and outdoor activities.
