Elevation9400 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies a landscape of lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine, and aspen that gives way to open grassy meadows. Summer brings wildflower blooms across the alpine meadows, and the open canopy means plenty of sky and starlight but limited shade. Moose browse through the campground in the early morning, and deer appear at dusk. The lake itself is the focal point, with a walking path circling the water and views across to the surrounding peaks.
