Summary
Dispersed camping is allowed nearby. Campsites include picnic tables, fire rings, and pit toilets; no potable water or RV hookups available. Tucked in a tranquil, forested setting around a small lake, it’s ideal for tent campers seeking solitude. Enjoy fishing, paddling, and hiking the nearby North Mountain or Glenwood Horse Trail. Best visited spring through fall for pleasant weather and vibrant scenery. Remote and quiet, it’s perfect for unplugging. Be prepared to pack in water and follow Leave No Trace principles.

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.
