Old Isabella Road Recreation Site

We stayed lakeside and had an amazing view, however they are working on the dams. The construction noise is Mon-Saturday some nights till 3 am and begins at dawn. The main issue we had was the constant winds. Everyday we had constant wind 8-10 mph and usually after 3pm it would increase to 15-20mph. We couldn’t sit outside most of the time because of the wind. We did get to enjoy watching the wind surfers and parasailing! Unfortunately I also found a lot of trash/glass. I filled a trash bag every other day, sad but true. We can do better!

I didn’t stay, just stopped by to use the dump station which was very clean, $10, and had potable water available. Compared to other campsites in the area this one was relatively less crowded on a friday afternoon.

BLM land, no fee if you have Annual Pass. No hookups obviously, but there is dump station for $12 fee (paid with credit card).
Place is huge and there is good distance between RVs to give you privacy. There were few windsurfers and kite-surfers since there was good wind in the morning. Lake is beautiful and sunsets there are gorgeous.

The spot is a beautiful area with access do the lake, close to the road. It is not free, you either have a anual pass or pau $12. Good for overnight stays or for enjoying the day.
