Setting

Limited privacy

Located eight miles from Quincy at 3,900 feet elevation, Snake Lake Campground sits in a pine and fir forest on the edge of lily-pad-filled Snake Lake. Each site features a fire pit, picnic table, food storage locker, and vault toilets. Built as a multi-use trail hub, it offers staging areas and direct forest road access for mountain biking, equestrian, and OHV use. Equestrian facilities include a small corral and an ADA mounting ramp. Due to heavy plant growth, the lake is not suitable for swimming.

  • Limited separation from through roads or other sites here, a 21-site campground with the nearest through road 0.1 miles off.
  • The Snake Lake shoreline is 0.1 mi off.
  • Spanish Peak stands 3,001 ft above the map pin, 6.5 miles southwest.
