What campers say
Nelson Reservoir Campground is a scenic, free lakeside option with sandy shoreline, picnic shelters, fire rings and several vault/restroom buildings. Sites are simple—many have tables and rings and a few cabins are available—there’s boating, fishing and easy water access that dogs can enjoy. Expect limited services: no potable water, electricity or dump station. Bugs are frequently mentioned (mosquitoes, flies/mayflies), though breezes sometimes help. The area can be windy and some visitors report long-term occupants or stored equipment at sites. Overall a pleasant, rustic spot for short stays if you come prepared.
