Summary

Reservations aren't required; sites are first-come, first-served and free of charge. Amenities include pit toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables, but no potable water or hookups, so plan accordingly. RV access is limited to smaller rigs due to narrow, unpaved roads. Nestled in a tranquil, forested setting near Echo Lake, the area offers peaceful lakeside views, wildlife sightings, and access to nearby hiking and paddling routes. Best visited from late spring through early fall for optimal weather and trail conditions.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
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.
