Stayed here on the last night of our vacation. Free camping. Had a nice large prime spot. Would definitely recommend this campground. It is busy though so have a backup plan in case it’s full.
Loved it. Camped right next to a little creek. Doe and fawn walked up the path 10 yards from our campsite!!
This place is a treasure!!! Hiking trail, fishing, astonishing scenery. It stays busy so don’t roll in late and expect to find a spot. Vault toilets. Some spots with hitching post for a horse or two. Tents, campers (not big rigs) friendly. The wildflowers, reflective views of the lake and brooks/streams are enough by themselves. It IS busy. Lots of day users who fish/ hike and some even swim in the frigid cold lake waters. The area around the lake can be boggy so bring rubber boots if you plan to fish the edges. Many canoe and kayak in this tiny lake. We saw locals getting wedding pics done their ! That proves what a treasure it is. Ample Day use parking. Be careful of health concerns as this is at about 10,900 to 11,000 plus feet above sea level. Enjoy!
I have been to 5 of the 7 continents and almost every state and this is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The views are fantastic!!! There are only vault toilets, no showers or any running water. The vault toilets were very clean and virtually no smell. The downsides are that it is first come, first served only. Also the road in could definitely use some help, it is rough. They need to develop more sites, there are not very many and with the first come, first served it fills up quickly. I was there Sept. 13th and it was full by 1PM. Take note there are no tables.
We hiked out on the CT from there. Very quiet and clean
