Within Gunnison National Forest, this dispersed camping area operated under US Forest Service management before its permanent closure. The free sites provided basic amenities including toilets and picnic tables, with campfires and pets both permitted. Campers could access the area by vehicle or on foot, with hiking trails available for exploration.
The location drew visitors for its proximity to a nearby lake that reviewers described as swimmable, though sites filled quickly during peak periods. One camper noted the area stayed clean despite heavy use, while another mentioned significantly cold nighttime temperatures even during summer months. The combination of lake access and forest setting made this a popular choice for dispersed camping near Gunnison National Forest before closure.
Description
