About this campground
Nestled among otherworldly volcanic tuff formations, Honeycomb Rocks Campground offers adventurers a unique high desert escape at 5,700 feet elevation. These ancient stone sentinels create natural privacy screens between the 21 well-appointed campsites, each featuring its own picnic table, fire pit, and tent pad. Just minutes from the sparkling waters of Enterprise Reservoir, visitors can cast a line for trout, launch a kayak at dawn, or simply watch eagles soar overhead. This seasonal gem welcomes explorers from Memorial Day weekend through September 30, providing the perfect basecamp for those seeking solitude beneath star-filled desert skies.
Honeycomb Rocks Campground offers a rustic camping experience with 21 campsites, including options for tents and combined uses. RV sites are limited and better suited for smaller RVs (26-28 ft).
Historical SignificanceWhile the ancient volcanic formations stand as silent witnesses to millions of years of geological history, the human stories of this land remain quietly woven into the landscape, waiting to be discovered by curious visitors.
Weather and SeasonsThe high desert climate here dances between extremes, making spring and fall the golden seasons for camping comfort. As wildflowers bloom in May and aspen leaves turn gold in September, temperatures hover in that perfect camping sweet spot. Summer brings intense sunshine and warm days ideal for reservoir adventures, though evenings cool dramatically at this elevation. While winter locks the campground gates, those lucky enough to visit during the open season discover why timing is everything in this dramatic landscape.
ElevationPerched at 5,700 feet where the air grows crisp and the stars shine brighter, this high desert campground offers a refreshing escape from lower elevations. The altitude brings cooler nights perfect for campfire stories and may leave lowlanders catching their breath on morning hikes. Visitors should pack layers for dramatic temperature swings and remember to hydrate as they explore this elevated wilderness playground.
Natural Features and SceneryImagine camping in nature's own sculpture garden, where volcanic tuff towers rise like ancient castles between groves of stately Ponderosa pines. These honeycomb-textured rock formations, weathered by eons of wind and rain, create an enchanting maze perfect for exploration. Gambel oaks dot the landscape while aromatic sagebrush fills the air with the authentic scent of the high desert. Just beyond the campground, Enterprise Reservoir mirrors the sky, its shores beckoning anglers and paddlers alike to discover hidden coves and resident wildlife.
Geological RegionThis remarkable high desert landscape tells a story written in stone—volcanic tuff formations that erupted from the earth millions of years ago now stand weathered into fantastic shapes perfect for climbing and bouldering. The unique geology creates a natural playground where Ponderosa pines sink roots into ancient volcanic soil and Gambel oaks find shelter in rocky alcoves. Thick sagebrush carpets the spaces between, completing this distinctive ecosystem where desert meets mountain, creating endless opportunities for geological discovery and outdoor adventure.
