About Stough Reservoir Campground
Stough Reservoir Campground is only one mile off Hwy 299 on a gravel road. At 6,200 feet it provides relief from the heat of the valleys on either side. Small trailers and motorhomes will find access and turnarounds manageable. The reservoir is small but is kept stocked by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Campsites sit away from the shore with nice views of the reservoir. Stough Reservoir is Number 4 on the Basin & Range Birding Trail. Bring you camera and binoculars and expect to see Prairie Falcons, Rufous Hummingbirds and Wild Turkeys.
- Fees: $15/single campsite per day with a maximum of 2 vehicles.
