May Queen Campground Access

May Queen Campground sits at 9,900 feet elevation on the western end of Turquoise Lake and offers 27 spacious sites with easy access for hand-carried boats and canoes, plus a nearby boat ramp (Matchless) for trailered boats on the lake's east side.

The campground features vault toilets, drinking water, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site, with the 6. 4-mile Turquoise Lake Trail providing scenic hiking and access to fishing opportunities for mackinaw and rainbow trout.

Reservations are available through Recreation. gov, though six first-come, first-served sites offer flexibility; note that the high elevation means cool evenings even in summer.
