Antelope Flat Reservoir Campground and Day Use
The campground is located just above the day-use area and boat ramp for Antelope Flat Reservoir, and is situated among large ponderosa pines which provide a quiet and scenic setting for forest visitors. Only a few campsites provide views of the reservoir, but the walk from the campground to the water's edge takes most people less than 10 minutes. Potable drinking water is available near the south end of the campground from a standing hand pump; however there are no hook-ups available on site. The day-use area is located right on the water’s edge and is outfitted with picnic tables, fire rings, a vault bathroom, and a boat ramp.

Each unit is published as a centre point and an acreage rather than a boundary, so this section stands it in for a circle of the same area. Whether a campground is inside, and how far it is from one it is outside, are both approximate.
