Summary

Sites are first-come, first-served—no reservations or permits required, and there are no fees. Amenities include vault toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and hitching posts, but no drinking water, RV hookups, or dump stations. The campground is nestled in a peaceful, forested setting near Timothy Lake, providing direct access to trails like the Timothy Lake Trail and Pacific Crest Trail. Ideal for horseback riders and hikers, the best time to visit is late spring through early fall when trails are dry and the weather is mild.

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.
