Summary
No reservations are needed—sites are first-come, first-served, and there are no fees. Amenities include vault toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and limited parking; no potable water or hookups are available, so come prepared. Tucked in a forested setting beside scenic Gipsy Lake, the campground provides a peaceful, rustic experience ideal for tent campers and small RVs. Nearby trails like the Gipsy Lake Trail offer access to hiking and fishing. Late spring through early fall is best for camping due to weather and road conditions.

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.
