Kite Lake Campground

We camped at Kite Lake and had an awesome time-such a beautiful, peaceful spot. Toilets were usually clean, though there’s a bit of a line in the morning with all the hikers. Campsites 1 & 2 are right by the parking lot, while 3, 4&5 are tucked away near the lake-perfect if you want a more secluded vibe. Wonderful night sky.

No service so beware if you’re at Hoosier pass/fairplay it’s your last cell phone point. The Way finding can be confusing for most, especially if you arrive at night and not during the day. Amazing views. Definitely should have heavy duty truck/4x4. I would strongly discourage a car drive up to kite lake! Be respectful of water and natural environment. Few campsite, high wind speeds, hardly any signage. Beautiful setting and hikes surrounding the area. Fee and parking area are confusing as well

This is an amazing place to camp and hike. If you cant go to the top of the 14k then go as far as you can and enjoy the beautiful views. The sunset was amazing.

Park early. Climb hard. A great place to start a great hike. Lot is full but about 06:30. So get there soon.

The campground itself has a pretty limited number of spots. They have a fee area at the bottom and appears as if you need to pay there (unfair given you can't tell what's available) but there is another fee area at the top. While the space is limited there are a few spots along the road you are able to car camp which work out well. The whole place turns into Disney World by 5am. Recommend camping the night before if you plan to do the hikes. Overall it is a very cool area and a great way to knock of 4 fourteeners before noon!
