Emerald Lake Campground

This is probably my favorite camping/hiking area in the state. The scenery is gorgeous and the trails are well-marked and easy to traverse. If I had anything negative to say, it is that I have yet to catch a fish here. But hey, who's really at fault there?

I have no idea how the low ground camping sites at the base of the mountains are as I have always camped up the mountain getting further in every time but I LOVE this area. The mountains, paths, and wilderness are beautiful and of the 4 times I've camped here I have truly loved each trip. The hike up the switchback trail can be quite a bit draining especially if you aren't used to hikes like that. But the scenery is gorgeous. My last visit in 2011 we reached the peak as a fog was rolling in and the site was spectacular. Definitely worth a trip especially if you hike up the trail to the peak of the mountains well past the dam.
