Off-highway vehicle tracks lead to this dispersed camping area beside Eagle Lake, where campers park along the shoreline or in small clearings back from the water. The highway remains visible from most spots, though one reviewer noted road noise doesn't carry to the camping areas. Dogs can run off-leash in the open terrain.
Visitors often have the area to themselves and can walk directly to the lake's edge. The site accommodates both car camping in the main parking area and walk-in tent setups in more secluded spots away from vehicle headlights. North Eagle Lake Campground sits just over three miles northwest for those wanting developed facilities. Bring your own water and plan for primitive conditions.
