Carr Lake Campground is a hike-in alpine campground at 6,663 feet elevation in Tahoe National Forest with 11 primitive tent sites accessed via a short walk from a parking area; the final 3 miles of access road is unimproved dirt (not recommended for low-clearance vehicles).

The campground offers fishing and non-motorized boating on the lake (10 MPH speed limit), with vault toilets, bear boxes, and first-come, first-served sites at $15/night, though water must be filtered from the lake and there is no cell service.

The location serves as a base for exploring the Grouse Lakes Area with numerous day hiking opportunities, typically open late May through mid-October depending on snow conditions.
