About

This is a popular recreation area beside the scenic Beartree Lake complete with campsites, a picnic area, and nearby trails. Campsites are popular with tent campers since there are no hookups, but RVs are welcome and easily accommodated.

There are 35 camping units in Chipmunk Circle and 35 camping units in Beaver Flats that are available for tents and RVs. Some sites are available for reservations while others are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Each unit has a parking spur, lantern post, fire grill and picnic table. Bathhouses with toilets, warm showers, sinks, and drinking water are provided. Four walk-in tent clusters and 4 paved RV clusters are available in the Group Loop for reservation. A trailer waste disposal station is located near the campground's exit. Recreation vehicles up to 40 feet can be accommodated in some units.
