Natural Features:

The campground is located on the southeastern shores of Eagle Lake at an elevation of approximately 5,100 feet. It is nestled in a forest of mature pine trees with a grassy understory. A few sites have a great view of the adjacent lake and some have space to moor a boat.

The 27,000-acre lake provides ample boating, swimming, water skiing and sailing opportunities. Visitors also enjoy the plentiful trout fishing. A boat ramp sits near the campsites, and a beach is located at the nearby Aspen Campground.

The campground offers access points for miles of trails within the Eagle Lake Recreation Area. A 6-mile hiking, biking and horseback riding trail parallels the lake and winds through the forest surrounding the campground.
