Summary
Camping is dispersed only—no established campsites—so come prepared to be self-sufficient. No permits, reservations, or fees are required. There are no toilets, drinking water, fire rings, picnic tables, or hookups, and RV access is limited due to rough roads. The area is forested, quiet, and scenic, ideal for solitude and fishing, with nearby trails including the Continental Divide Trail. Best visited from late June to early September for clear access and mild weather. It’s perfect for backcountry campers seeking remote beauty and alpine lake 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.
