Recapture Reservoir Dispersed Camping

Close to Blanding which is nice. The road, Radio Hill, to get there is paved but be careful of the cattle gate and it's bump. It destroy our watertank. But once you are near the reservoir your choice is yours to pick any place and there are plenty. There was just another camper with us. Nice night sky and very quiet.

This was a little gem just outside of Blanding, Utah. We had some work to do in Blanding so just needed a spot for the night. This was perfect...paved road up to the beach and spots on the beach close to the water. There is a nice view of a mountain on the other side of the reservoir. Great free spot with water and views. You can’t beat that!

Beautiful spots right next to reservoir with just a short drive off paved road. Only down side is no cell service.

Paved road all the way in to boat launch. Nice fellow campers. Lots of boaters. Great stopover.

Plenty of fire rings and small little camp sites if you just drive around and explore. Smaller cars will have no problem.

Pretty views and sagebrush.

Docked one star because no sprint service and your legs and feet will get hella dusty out there.

No toilet / no water / no bathroom sink / no shower / no table / rocks fire pit / easy access / middle shade.

We arrives at midnight and it was a little bit scaring - why there is so much horror movie with "reservoir"?! -. So, we don't really find a good place for a tent, but it was convenient, road is paved, and you can swim on morning, water was clean (a "swimmer club" came to swim), and had good temperature. It's a beautiful place to stop on road and swim (what a pleasure!) but arrive during day to have a good spot (tent) because there are not so easy to catch. We stayed there beginning of July.

Free camping at its best! We have a 37' 5th wheel, only 3 sites will fit a rig this size smaller units will have plenty of nice spots to choose from. Easy access off a paved road to the boat ramp, we stayed next to it with little noise, there are trash dumpsters and a vault toilet. I had a great time fishing and just enjoying the area. We had no cell service with Verizon had to go to the end of the road to get service.

Human/pet feces and toilet paper all over the camping areas, people's dogs barking and running loose. No one including San Juan Sheriffs office practice social distancing or wear mask. If you are an at risk person and understand the reality of Covid-19. You`'ll definitely want to stay away. Teenagers party near the southeast of the lake, but really never bother anyone since the access right off the highway. Butler Wash and South Cottonwood Canyon right off US 95 much better and worth the extra drive. Bridges N.P is even futher, but there are very clean bathrooms with water. The campgrounds are closed, but primitive camping outside the park is near buy.

We stayed at this campsite after just leaving another campsite due to it not being what we expected, so we didn't have too high expectations for this site but it turned out to be great. It's not too far from the main road which is nice, but getting to each of the campsites was a little bumpy and we had to maneuver our campervan a little bit in order to get us flat, but we made it work.

A nice fire ring where we were able to build a fire, and bins where you can drop in your trash & recycling. No other facilities. We did spend some time at the "beach" where it was nice to be able to look into the water. We arrived about 4pm, but after that, it got quite busy. Seems like there were a few people who were there long term (longer than 1-2 weeks), but can't confirm since we only stayed there a night. After you get off the main road, we got no service with Verizon.

Really pretty views. Try and get there in the daylight so you can see the camp spots. Saw a herd of deer and heard the coyotes.
