Trailhead Group Campground
Trailhead Group Campground
Trailhead Group Campground is a tent-only group facility accommodating up to 25 people at 10,000+ feet elevation adjacent to Saddlebag Lake, featuring flush toilets, picnic tables, and bear-resistant food storage.
A nearby boat ramp provides lake access with a 15 mph speed limit, and the resort offers fishing supplies and boat rentals.
Reservations are required well in advance (often 6+ months), and the single-lane, partially paved access road is steep and narrow, limiting RV/trailer use.
