This US Forest Service campground sits directly off Highway 26 in Caribou National Forest, with the boat launch road running through the camping area. Sites are positioned among trees but remain close to the main road, where truck traffic creates engine braking noise throughout the night. The older facility provides drinking water, restrooms, and trash service from May through September.
Fishing draws most visitors to the adjacent lake, though the campground's layout prioritizes boat access over quiet camping. Sites on the western edge offer sunset views over the water. Note that pets are not permitted. Late-season visitors may find no fees collected, though standard amenities remain available through the official season.
