About Johnson Lake

Two campsite areas are located on the north and south shores of Johnson Lake. The campsites are set in an open Ponderosa Pine and bunchgrass landscape. The north site is accessed by skirting the gravel pit along its south and west boundary. The lake edge here is marshy. The south site is more popular with its small sandy beach and picnic day use area and is accessible taking the left fork in the road at the gravel pit. There is a short steep pitch trailers should approach with caution at this site. Fencing has been installed to keep range cattle out from the campsite areas. Please use road cattle guards and walk through stiles to cross fences. From the Premier Lake turnoff on Hwy 93/95 drive north for approx. 3km until you see a gravel pit on the west side of the highway. The Johnson Lake road skirts the south end of the gravel pit. The lake is reached in less than 1 km from the highway and is accessible by 2WD vehicles with trailers.
