Spring Camp
I took my son here as soon as the roads cleared of snow and we had an amazing time. We were the only people at the camp that night but people showed up the next day and there were day use people there the first day as well. The lake is beautiful and we took our canoe out on it a couple times. We also had great hikes on the local trails. We couldn’t get the fish to bite but others told us the lake is stocked. We also made some spontaneous friends with other visitors. Not all the other visitors were great but a majority of the people we met were.
Ranger review: Morsel Spork at Trout Lake Campground
Ranger review: Morsel Spork at Trout Lake Campground.
**Campground Review: **
Trout lake campground is certainly off the beaten path. The road to get there is dirt and gravel. It is uneven with a lot of potholes, also very narrow and no room for others to pass. Super sketchy in my Kia Soul. The drive there is nice, as you go up in to the mountains, great views. Once you get to the campground it is super small with only five sites. pretty popular for boats. the sites are great, well shaded. My favorite site was 5 as it was big, but also right behind the main access to the dock. The dock was flooded this time. Make sure you have everything you need, its a far drive from any store. The lake is good for fishing. The vault toilets are well maintained. Pack out your trash. bring your own water.
**Product Review: **
As a Ranger for the Dyrt, sometimes I get to test cool products in the field. Today I tested the Morsel Spork. I love these things! I was able to get a regular and an xl and test them both, My favorite is the smaller one, because its easier to wield. I can see the benefits of the big xl large one if you have those hard to reach bagged food items but in retrospect it just wasn't for me. They are both lightweight, have the serrated edge, flexible edge on the spoon, and they are both just cool. I love the idea of sporks and Morsel Spork put a lot of thought in their design. I love the materiel, nice and sturdy. It's earned it's way in to my camp back and I'm excited to have them

High clearance vehicles only
$10 per night, 2 vault toilets, 17 sites right off the creek, fires allowed. I would recommend 4x4 getting here. Great for fishing.
