Every site here is listed for one vehicle. Agencies differ on whether a truck and the trailer it tows count as one or two, so this may not affect a fifth wheel — but it does decide whether a second car can come. Worth a call before you rely on it.

At 8,265 ft, expect nights below freezing well into June, water systems shut off outside a short summer window, and a long climb to get here. Nothing published says when it opens — call before you tow.

Getting there

What the agency says about the road in. For a long rig this is often the binding constraint — a site that fits is no use behind four miles of shelf road — and none of it appears in the campsite data.

Rigs not recommended on this roadTrailers are not advised on the West side of the lake because the turn-around is very tight (limited space due to steep terrain).Natural Features At an elevation of 8,300 feet, the campground facility is located in an alpine lake basin below Mt.quoted from the description
