Check availabilityA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups.
Recreation is concentrated on the water and the trails. Anglers fish Rock Creek and the lake for brook, brown, rainbow and stocked Alpers trout, and golden trout are a possibility higher in the backcountry; powercraft are limited to electric motors only, and boat rentals are available nearby if you don't bring a kayak or electric boat.















Length limits vary by campsite.
Not listed — confirm before booking: Max RV length isn't listed.

“Wonderful location with many beautiful hikes in the surrounding area. The campsite itself was scenic and clean. Would love to come back.”
“I can't really review my experience- I had to abandon my reservation because of heavy smoke from forest fires. I appreciate that the camp host actually called me to let me know it was really bad, which saved me a wasted trip. ”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (6,053 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
