Summary
Reservations are recommended (required in peak season), and fees apply. Most sites have picnic tables, fire rings, and access to vault toilets and potable water. Some sites accommodate RVs, though there are no hookups. The lakeside setting offers wide-open views, granite outcrops, and high-alpine terrain at 8,600 feet—ideal for fishing, boating, and stargazing. Nearby trails include the Coyote Ridge and Black Bear trails. The best time to visit is late spring through early fall for mild weather and full access.

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.
