Need to Know
Simpson Springs offers a more primitive camping experience, while providing potable water (except in winter months), restroom facilities, tent pads, and restrooms. The BLM does not currently have a Campground Host, and does not mark reserved sites each night. Please note that sites 1-10 are reservable online, while sites 11-19 remain available first come, first served for payment on-site. Visitors who reserve sites online must camp in the specific site that they reserved. The BLM is currently working on an improved site design for this campground.
