Summary
The main campground has pit toilets, fire rings, picnic tables, and is accessible to RVs, though there are no hookups or potable water—campers must bring their own. Reservations are not required, and camping is free with no permits needed. Set in a scenic, high-altitude setting at around 8,400 feet, the area features pine and aspen forests surrounding the lake. It’s ideal for fishing, kayaking, and nearby hiking or OHV trails. The atmosphere is peaceful and rustic. Best time to visit is late spring through early fall, as snow limits access in winter.

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.
