We camped in the dry lake bed area to the left of the dirt road right up by the tree line. The views were stunning. Woke up to a sleet blizzard the next morning but it didn’t bother us. Got great pictures the night before of the mountains. We saw a moose down closer to the lake when we first arrived as we were looking for a place to park. No one bothered us. Didn’t see anyone else the whole time. Great spot. FYI: no cell service.
