The hand pump is dead, some fire rings and picnic tables have been removed, and there's no trash service. Campers expecting even basic site infrastructure will be frustrated. Families wanting swimming should also know Noma Lake is too weedy; Clear Lake is nearby but it's a separa

Summer brings mid-70s to low-80s days and 50-degree nights, the best window for water access and fishing. Long daylight and warm weather make the carry-in setup easier to manage.

The primitive nature of the campground means you'll skip the weekend crowds even during peak season, though that also means you're on your own when conditions turn.
Open May 25–Sept 4; summer reviews praise fishing and quiet but note maintenance issues.
