Eldorado National Forest includes Azalea Cove Campground, a US Forest Service site that requires a half-mile hike from the parking area to reach the campsites. The campground sits next to a lake and provides bear boxes, toilets, and clean facilities according to recent visitors. Sites remain empty during weekdays but see increased use on weekends.
Black bears frequent the area, so proper food storage in the provided bear boxes is essential. The campground prohibits pets and caters to campers willing to carry their gear down the trail. For additional options in the region, see places to camp around Kyburz. Pack light since everything must be carried back uphill when departing.
