Summary
Camping is free, with both established and dispersed sites available. Amenities are minimal—expect pit toilets, no drinking water, and no hookups. Sites typically include fire rings and picnic tables. This secluded, wooded campground sits beside King Lake, providing peaceful lakeside scenery and a back-to-basics camping vibe. RVs can access the area, but space and amenities are limited. Enjoy hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing nearby. The best time to visit is late spring through early fall for mild weather and full access to surrounding forest trails.

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.
