Learn more about alerts →Lake-focused campers who book shaded sites like #97 or #103 early will get the most out of this place. Fall weekends hit the sweet spot: cooler temps, lighter crowds, and the lake still swimmable. Striped bass, trout, and PCT trailhead access from between sites 12 and 13 seal it
Quiet sleepers and light packers take note: noise enforcement after 10 PM is inconsistent, restroom cleanliness slips badly on summer weekends, and sites like #107 and #108 offer zero shade in heat that regularly pushes 90-100°F. Bring quarters for showers and a bear canister reg

Fall delivers the most comfortable conditions. Daytime highs settle into the 60s and 70s°F with nights dropping to the 40s and 50s, ideal for hiking and fishing without summer's crowds. The lake stays warm enough for swimming into early fall. Summer (June through September) brings temperatures between 90-100°F. Great for water sports but hot for tent camping in unshaded sites. Winter sees temps from 30-60°F with rain replacing snow at this elevation. Weekdays and non-holiday weekends in fall offer noticeably quieter conditions than peak summer.
Fall described as most comfortable: mild highs (60s-70s) and fewer crowds; ideal for hiking/fishing.
