Boulder Lake Trail - Trailhead Dispersed Camping
Reviewed Jul. 4, 2021

Free camping and lake access

This area is noted as the backpacker parking area to access the wilderness trails above Boulder Lake. It is just outside of the developed Boulder Lake CG. However this area is also a popular free dispersed camp area for TTs and RVs as the regular campground is a bit tight for larger TTs and RVs and the loop Rd in the campground is terrible. So folks camp out here on the open flat grassy area, and as a bonus there is a grassy boat launch area good for kayaks and other water craft. No potable water, no toilets, no trash dumpsters, no tables or fire rings. 14d limit and the rangers do come around to check I hear. There is a toilet up the hill at the packstock staging parking area.
