Nice spot between Blue lakes.

We stayed here just after the campground opened for the season, the upper campgrounds were still closed but lower blue lakes was open. We had the entire campground to ourselves. We stayed in the site directly next to the bathroom which was like having a private tiolet while camping which was nice (if it was busy we wouldn't have stayed in that site due to potential smell and foot traffic). The site was on top of a hill with a large paved area for parking. Bear boxes provided. Level areas for tents, nice vantage point on top of the hill overlooking a meadow on one side and the road and creek on the other side. There is a creek that flows from upper blue lake to lower blue lake and it is a nice walk to explore along the creek. Very beautiful and peaceful. We saw two deer from our site. There are several sites right long the creek. Quick walk to upper Blue lake, longer walk but doable to lower Blue lake. Several trailheads in the area for longer hikes and day trips. Wild flowers in this area are also fantastic!

Large

Large grass area that looked like it could be for camping, it was on top of the lake overlooking it. It was absolutely beautiful. Didnt see any campers but it didn’t say don’t camp here.
