Carter Knolls Campground at Carter Lake

Carter Lake is really a hidden gem I never knew existed. We came after leaving Flatiron Campground but they were booked up AND we had a tornado watch going. The CG sits right on a cliff overlooking the lake. Beautiful views of the sunset but I’m in a teardrop so not where I wanted to be in a high wind situation. I would be back tho looked like a fun place. Dirt pads but level. Vault toilet close.

Very few campsites at Carter Knolls Campground. A few individual sites into group sites. This Campground is perfect for viewing the entire spance of Carter Lake. No wash facilities and only dry outhouses. Easy walk to the lake but be careful as there are Cliffs on the southwest side of the campground. The sunsets are amazing! Plenty of deer and Wildlife to view from this vantage point. We even found a few skinks roaming about the rocks. Great place to kick back with a glass of wine and some music. Add a hammock and you're in heaven. The road leading up to the campsites could use some Road improvements. Many folks drove through our campsite without knowing it was a one way Road.
