Anglers and paddlers who want a quiet lake without jet skis will find the no-motor rule earns its keep here. Late spring to early summer hits the sweet spot for rainbow trout fishing, Swan Lake and Fish Lake are both within three miles, and the price is hard to argue with. Bring
Sites are close together with a public trail cutting past each one, so solitude isn't really on offer. Bigger rigs won't have room to turn around, there's no drinking water on-site, and the whole place is walk-up only, show up Friday morning if you want a summer weekend spot.

<p>Ferry Lake Campground is a 9-unit fee campground located off the beaten path, but easily accessible campground that offers tranquil camping and good lake fishing. Each campsite has a parking spur, table, and fire ring. The campground has a mix of nice tent sites, camper/van sites, and small motorhome/trailer sites. Large RVs are not recommended due to the size of the turn-around at the end of the campground road. There are two outhouses and a boat launch for small watercraft. With its handful of small shaded campsites and a ban on internal combustion engines, the lake is quiet enough to hear ducks and loons calling to each other across the lake. The lake is regularly stocked with catchable-size Rainbow Trout. Late spring to early summer is the best time to fish this secluded and serene location. Two-pole fishing is allowed, but to protect breeding loons, it is unlawful to use lead weights or lead jigs that measure 1.5 inches or less along the longest axis. A public boat launch is located at the end of the campground. Swan Lake and Fish Lake are available within 3 miles for nice day trip fishing excursions. Wildflowers and huckleberry's are major attractions that bring visitors to the area. The nearest location for groceries and fishing supplies is 14 miles away in Republic, Washington.</p><h2>Facilities</h2><ul><li>9 campsites with picnic tables and fire pits</li><li>No drinking water</li><li>Vault toilets</li></ul>

Late spring through summer brings the best conditions. Expect daytime highs around 65-75°F with cool nights in the 40s-50s. Days are long and mostly sunny. Water stays calm for paddling. This is prime time for fishing rainbow trout and catching wildflower displays in the meadows. The campground only has nine sites, so weekends fill quickly despite the remote location. Early spring can still see freezing temperatures. Winter brings snow and a 27-28% chance of precipitation, limiting access for most campers.
Late spring highlighted as a prime time for fishing and pleasant conditions; opens May 17.
