Summary
Reservations aren't required—first-come, first-served—and there's a small nightly fee. Amenities include vault toilets, potable water, picnic tables, fire rings, and grills; however, no RV hookups are available (small RVs and trailers ok). Nestled in a peaceful, forested setting at 6,000 feet, the campground provides lake access for fishing, kayaking, and swimming, with nearby hiking trails like the Pacific Crest Trail. Best visited late June through September, it’s ideal for those seeking a quiet, high-elevation escape with beautiful mountain views and star-filled skies.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
