This is a dispersed camping site at a trailhead with a pit toilet

Swampy Lakes Sno-Park is a winter trailhead for cross-country skiing and is used as a mountain bike trailhead in the summer. It is a paved parking area with a pit toilet. There is no water and it is fairly close to the highway. In winter it’s not advisable to camp here since campers interfere with plowing. Nearby are two Sno-Parks ( Wanoga and Kapka) which are used by snowmobilers and are better set up for winter use since the parking is in the middle of the lot and snowplows can get around overnighters.
