Summary
No reservations or permits are needed, and there are no fees to camp. Amenities include vault toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and tent-friendly sites—no water, hookups, or dump stations, but RVs under 30 feet can access. The campground sits in a quiet, wooded setting beside the clear alpine lake, ideal for fishing, paddling, and relaxing. Nearby, hikers enjoy the Boulder Chain Lakes and White Cloud Mountains. Summer to early fall (July–September) offers the best weather and trail 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.
