Summary
Nestled in a serene forested setting beside several small alpine lakes, it features pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and lake access, but no potable water, hookups, or RV amenities (small RVs can access). The peaceful vibe, reflecting lakes, and old-growth trees create a tranquil escape. Popular nearby trails include Indian Heaven Wilderness and Pacific Crest Trail. Best visited mid-July through September when mosquitoes lessen and snow has melted. Perfect for paddling, fishing, or quiet forest camping with scenic views.

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.
