Visitors can expect a variety of recreational activities, including fishing, boating, swimming, hiking, exploring and big game hunting. This Campground has 26 sites, 16 of which are reservable and 10 are walk-up sites. The stay limit is 16 consecutive days. Recreation Boating is popular on the 27,750-acre reservoir, and a native boat ramp for smaller watercraft is available. Swimming and fishing are also popular pastimes, and anglers can expect a catch of cutthroat trout and other varieties. Facilities The campground offers 26 campsites, including some first come, first serve, available for tent and RV camping.
