Customer Reviews
Great little place to pitch a tent if you are pedaling along the GDMBR. I wasn't sure if there was gonna be any spots left. But I got a great one near the water. There were two friendly, very vocal Barred Owls a 100 feet from my tent in the early evening. It was very quiet and dark here.
This place is a hidden gem, camping is on 1st come 1st serve, get there early its right on Coopers lake!
No potable water on-site. Limited and awkward placing for tents. Only one site has room for a small vehicle that will not be level. Amazing view of mountains over the lake. Lake surrounded by lake-front houses; feels a bit like camping in a neighborhood.
I love this place. My husband and I were married there. It was a perfect Covid wedding, small and beautiful.
a great free place to camp if you can get a spot.
