Antelope Reservoir Campground
Campground Description: Antelope Reservoir and its associated campground are owned and operated by the Bureau of Land Management. Although Antelope Reservoir isn't near any tourist attractions and the nearest town (Jordan Valley) has a population of just 230 people, its a great place to unwind without the crowds at many State Parks. The campground is both RV camping and tent camping friendly. Antelope Reservoir is a boater's paradise due to the complete lack of crowds. Wildlife spotters will find antelope, badgers, coyotes, and a number of bird species ranging from grouse to eagles. Nearby is a self guided automobile route through the Soldier Creek Watchable Wildlife site. Open year round subject to weather conditions. Reservations are not possible.
