Dispersed BLM camping around Eagle Lake: “Although dispersed camping is allowed on all
land administered by the Bureau of Land Management…I around the lake, the
stretch of shoreline between Hwy. 139 and the lake a couple of miles south of
the County Road A-1 and Highway 139 intersection is the most popular. Although during the high use seasons portable
toilets are provided in this area, self-contained camping is required to avoid
the disposal of gray water within the closed basin of Eagle Lake. With the exception of portable toilets, no
services are provided in this dispersed camping area….When camping, ‘Leave No
Trace’ so the area is as clean or cleaner than when you found it….” BLM – Eagle
