West Cameahwait Campground

Amazing FREE spot right on the water. We did a Utah to Montana trip for a week and this was the best spot of our whole trip. It’s right off the freeway which is convenient. We had a table, fire pit & there are bathrooms. Would definitely stay here again!

This campground is one of several that are for free along this reservoir. This one seemed to be the least packed because it only has three official sites. There are a couple other spots in the field where rock firerings have been made but the official spots have picnic tables & metal fire rings. There are two vault toilets which were stocked & cleaned twice during my 6 night day. There is also a picnic shelter & trash cans located throughout. It was extremely quiet during the week with only 1 other camper. One rig did put up a camper during the week but did not actually stay until the weekend. Starting on Friday, there’s a lot of traffic & boaters coming to the launch. Other than that, very quiet throughout the week & had great cell service. Not many amenities nearby but within a 25 minute drive, you can get everything you need. 14 day max. There’s a water pump by the shelter but didn’t use it but notes it’s drinking water.

There are 9 Bureau of Reclamation campgrounds in this area located right along the Clark Canyon Reservoir. There are no hookups, but there are vault toilets and water you can pump from a well. For more information and photos, see our blog post.
