Lake View Campground

Incredible views of Stanley lake, can get busy during summer months (reservations recommended if possible). Beautiful trails in the area (take your bear spray). Easily accessible for smaller RV's (big RV's should be ok too but may not fit in all spots). The lake itself is usually quiet and nice for paddle boarding and fishing.

This is a Forest Service first come first serve campground with only 6 sites, so snagging one could prove challenging. We had been in the area a couple days before, and we checked out the tags at sites and saw when people were planning to leave and several looked like they were coming open about the time we would return. We scored site#6 which we thought was the best one for us- with plenty of room and a nice trail down to the lakeside! At an elevation of 6537 ft., it can be a cooler escape during the heat of the summer. The water was close to the sites and provided an amazing place to kayak with the majestic mountains towering above. I can not wait to return here someday!
