Summary
Reservations are recommended via Recreation.gov; fees apply (~$24/night). Amenities include pit toilets, potable water, fire rings, picnic tables, and RV access (no hookups). Set in a serene, forested valley along Icicle Creek, it’s ideal for a rustic mountain escape. Close to popular hikes like Eightmile Lake and Colchuck Lake (Enchantment Lakes trailhead), it’s a gateway to Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Spring through early fall is best, with warm days, cool nights, and wildflower-filled trails. Expect a peaceful, scenic vibe with towering pines and creekside relaxation.

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.
