Lake Ealanor and Grand Park

If you are looking for a quiet lake in the trees with the option of a picturesque hike...this place is for you. We stayed on a warm Friday night in July and had the entire lake to ourselves! Bring bug spray because the established camp sites are in the shade with the the mosquitoes. There is also a primitive pit toilet which is slightly better than digging a hole. In the National Park so I would recommend consulting with the local Ranger about a camping permit (White River Ranger Station).

SiteStayed in a group site.
