Need to Know
When will Loon Lake Campground fully re-open?
In August of 2022, BLM reopened a section of the campground. Due to ongoing work with the water tank system, some campsites remained closed the entire season. The BLM is making every effort to repair the damaged facilities in the campground and day-use area as quickly as possible to fully reopen by May 2023. The BLM will post updates as repairs are completed and will notifiy visitors when it is again possible to make camping reservations.
