Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights6 sites open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
The lake itself shapes most of the activity here. Anglers will find rainbow, cutthroat and brook trout as well as kokanee, and crawfish boils are a local favorite; motorized boats are allowed but wakes and jet skis are prohibited to keep the lake calm for swimmers, anglers and wildlife.

















Length limits vary by campsite.

“The campground was quiet, the size of the site was great, and the view over the lake (from #27) was super. Having the pit toilet right there was very convenient too. In all it was a great campground which made for a nice stay. ”
“We stayed over Labor Day; it was busy but we still had our own space. By Monday night we were the only ones there and got to watch a family of river otters play and fish around the lake. Clean water, no motors, quiet. Site #1 was excellent.”

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 (1,795 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.
