Twelve miles later we turned south onto I-15 for just a short bit until taking the turnoff to highway 168 that took us west to meet up with highway 93.No idea what this is...no signs at all...
Shortly after 11:00, we turned off the highway into the camping area of the Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge on Upper Pahranagat Lake...
There is a good gravel road that goes south, paralleling the highway, along the lake to the 15 campsites...
The day-use area with an information kiosk and registration. There is no fee to stay here but they like you to register. We were lucky the camp host came along...she gave us advice on the best spots for us. There were basically only 2 that she thought we might fit into...2 or 4...both are actually large double sites.
We chose #2 because it had easier access for us and was fairly level. The unfortunate thing is that we are sharing the area with a fellow in a big motorhome (he probably groaned when he saw us pulling in too!).We got all set up and had lunch...and it was only 1:30! Time to head out for a walk and explore the rest of the campground. It's basically just a single road along the lake with campsites. Eleven of the sites allow RV's, the rest are tents only.
Tent sites...
Once back from our walk, I updated our blog while Steve put out the solar lights around our yard. Then we sat outside relaxing in our chairs enjoying the lake views...it's so nice to see trees and be on a lake! Steve is also in his glory watching fighter jets fly by as we seem to be on their flight path to their practice area. The weather forecast for tomorrow is for rain and thunderstorms, so we may just have to hunker down for a day before we can get out for more exploring of the area.
Looks like you found a great spot!!.. Tucker would be swimming in no time !!
