If you can get this location when there are no other guests, it's a cool spot as long as you understand you are staying in the desert with no facilities. The hosts directions were great - definitely would recommend using them and not mapping software. We were driving AWD so no issues, but some spots felt like they might be rough on a vehicle with no clearance and it would be slow going once off the paved road. The site isn't prestine, but I wouldn't really expect that on this type of property. The fire pits are nice and surrounding trees are cool for hammocks, but not really tall enough to be shade. The walk to the water was not bad. However, I think just due to it being peak summer season, we didn't have the waterline to ourselves like we hoped. Some people had boated across the water or were staying on nearby properties and had staked out sites before we arrived Saturday and didn't move all weekend. Quite a few people were driving off-road vehicles around the property till dark, which I'll admit the engine noise was a bit of an annoyance. Yes, there is some prickly cacti/shrub in the area but you probably should be thinking of that before you bring your dog or kid to the desert anyways. We did have cattle wander through overnight. As a couple that camps on raw BLM land often and generally tries to avoid the mass camping at state/national run sites, this was worth it to avoid crowds and spend some time on the water - but it was not as quiet as we had anticipated.

Getting there was a bit tricky but we managed with the help of the host it’s a lot easier he answered very fast. It was just 2 of us so we put up a tent. It was pretty flat so it made it easy to set up. It got really dark I would recommend bringing a flashlight. It was about a 10 minute walk to the lake there was some cacti as well. There was trees to set up hammock'so. We also saw a couple bunny’s around. Overall a very good first experience camping🪵.

The host Jossue was amazing, he went above and beyond to help us out. The sites are flat enough to make leveling your rig easy. With the water levels where they are now (Aug 2023) it's about a 5 minute walk down to the water. The beach is sandy and has trees for shade. The sites could use some improvement and markers to identify which sites are which, but overall it was perfect for what we were looking for (some place that we could be loud late into the evening). Directions provided by host will get you to the camp fine, but recent rain fall has caused massive rutting that made part of the road impassible to those with low clearance trailers so we relied on the GPS coordinates provided by Jossue, basically the same route except for once.your on Lake Point Drive watch for 5250 South and hang a left the keep following Googles directions but found the turn off into the property was about 200 yards past where Google Maps said you have arrived. Can't say enough good things about how awesome Jossue was in responding to questions and accommodating our group even when he was out of town.

This is such a lovely campsite! We were the only ones there so there was lots of privacy. The property is super close to the lake! Perfect for paddle boarding and fishing.

My group and I loved our trip! Very close to the lake and was a beautiful little spot. I would be mindful that there are tons of small cacti on the site. The directions provided were very helpful and got us there. We did get a mini van to the site, but an off roader or car with good suspension would be recommended.

The campsite has beautiful views of the lake and it is a short walk to the beach. The campsites are fairly flat with red sand and plenty of firewood from the sagebrush and juniper trees. We stayed at campsite A & B. At campsite A, the fire pit blocked a good portion of where our pop-up trailer was supposed to go. We were able to wedge ours in there so it fit and didn't catch on fire. There are small cactuses everywhere, so look lively!
The host is extremely helpful and responsive! He provided ample information and we appreciate that. He also let us reserve an additional site at no added cost as our group size was large and to give us space from another, smaller group that was staying at the campsite.
Getting to the campsite is very difficult, even with the detailed instructions the host provides. It requires a lot of rough, off-road driving with few and obscure landmarks to navigate. We got lost getting to and from the campsite. We found it best to use the map the host provided and our GPS to compare against it.
This location is unique and we will for sure stay here again!

Great time getting away. This place is remote and that’s what I was looking for. The water is very close with great fishing and my son loved exploring the rocks that are everywhere. Jossue’s directions were easy to follow and we will definitely return for another trip. No complaints!!

Great remote spot by Starvation!

This property was just what we wanted. Very remote location, great for a large group and easy access to the water. We did have a side by side so the trip to the water was very quick. I’d highly try his spot and will book in the future.
We did come across (2) scorpions just keep in eye out.

Remote and great lake access
30 ft travel trailer · With pets ·
Northeastern Utah Lakeside Retreat
Positives:
The location is very remote, which is very nice. It is quiet and close to the lake, about a 10-minute walk. The host is very accommodating and helpful. We stayed at site A and it was private and up a bit from the other sites. It had a very nice firepit as well. The lake is total empty, we spent several hours along the shores and never saw anyone. The water is crystal clear and beautiful.
Negatives:
It is very difficult to access. It is about 8 miles of dirt road and many of the street signs are fallen over (at least most are there though). The instructions to get there are solid, but you have to look for fallen signs or you'll get lost. Lots of cacti around the camp, so keep a close eye on little ones and dogs. The dirt at spot A is soft so bring a few mats to keep you from bringing in dirt to your rig or tent.

The 2 trailers left on the property are in the best spots. so we were stuck with the uneven spots left over further away from the fire pit. And had to work around them .
The property had a ton of odd trashy looking half built items (pvc pipe play house?? Odd table with bones 😣) . The directions had everyone lost. Including me.. we had to meet everyone to guide them in .

Very secluded with a beautiful view! Reservoir was very low this year and quite a long walk. Jossue made directions very clear on how to get there which helped so much! I would camp here again!

What an awesome place! We really enjoyed this spot. There was PLENTY of room for our 3 huge tents. The ground is nice and clear, plenty of room to park and set up a nice kitchen area. There were even a few trees really close to hang out hammocks. I could actually live here! The water was a little further away because of the drought but it was a nice walk. We made it an adventure. We never saw any people and really enjoyed the privacy this spot has to offer.
We will definitely stay here again!

Great desert camping, not lakeside
Group trip ·
Northeastern Utah Lakeside Retreat
The campsite had some beautiful views of Starvation Resevoir. The photos made it look like the campsite is almost right on the waters edge, and this is not the case. With the lack of a trail as well as low water levels, it took us a good 20 minutes to finally get to the water (while trying to avoid cryptobiotic soil). It was nice to have an established fire ring, great juniper trees to hang hammocks from, and a table already there. Some of the roads there were missing signs and were missed on the instructions as well, so all three parties ended up getting lost on the way out. If you like desert camping, this is a great site!

Northeastern Utah Lakeside Retreat
We had a great time staying here. The water was about 10-15 minutes of a walk, due to lower water levels. But there are trails leading down to it, so it's easy to get there. It was quiet and peaceful with a beautiful view of the stars at night. We had a large group and had plenty of room for multiple campers. There are some cactus on the property so make sure you have a good pair of shoes if you're planning on exploring. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful property, out of the way like we like it. I wouldn’t consider it truly secluded as there are a lot of other campers around the area, but that is worth it for the location and the outstanding sky view. We witnessed 2 UAPs and our dog loved chasing around the critters.
