Campground details
Setting
Terraces Overnight Group Area sits at 8,000 feet in Lamoille Canyon, shaded by a dense grove of aspens along Lamoille Creek. The paved facility functions as a single reservation site for up to 75 people, incorporating nine individual picnic sites that are available for first-come, first-served day use when unbooked. Facilities include picnic tables, grills, vault toilets, drinking water, trash collection, and a paved parking lot for up to 17 vehicles. Lamoille Creek runs beside the site for trout fishing, while nearby canyon trails cater to hiking and horseback riding.
