Great Lake & Camp Sites

Newly renovated! Has great camp spots around the lake. Beautiful views. Went for the day and loved hiking around the lake. Lots of small fish. Everyone was respectful and nice. Hope it survives the fires.

Primitive camping w/ Chipmunks

Nice flat tent platforms. Can drive up to campsites probably 30 places. Trout fishing but must have license from closest store 20 miles down in Mora. Maybe 8500 ft elevation. Very cool even in July; need blankets.

Chipmunks were a hoot but need to guard your food.

Large travel trailers work for the 1st 10 sites then path gets too windy and hilly. Had a Honda civic and meandered all the way up to the last campsite

Stunning

Hubby and I happened onto this beautiful state park. When we were there they had only been open for about two months. The camping spots were perfect equipped with a picnic table and a fire ring. Perfect place on top of a mountain with amazing view!
