USFS · Campground · Fee
Beaver Lake Campground sits south of Beaver Lake with 11 campsites nestled under spruce trees. Some sites have view of lake, open meadow and towering cliffs, while tent sites, located on a dead end spur, are nicely secluded. Beaver Lake is a popular fishing lake. Heavy four-wheeler traffic along main access road. There are no close communities to get provisions so visitors need to bring everything they need.
