So we did not get a permit when we hiked here. The trail does pass through a section of private land, but the camping is in the national forest. If you want to have a campfire (which we didn’t) you would need to get a permit, but otherwise, it doesn’t appear a permit is required.

We researched and couldn’t find any information about whether you need a permit or not to camp there. This is what the Forest Service department has about it. When we did this hike years ago, there was no indication at the trailhead that we needed to obtain one.

We did this hike awhile ago, but if my memory serves me correctly there are spots to set up a hammock, but not many – and not directly next to the lake. So if you’re going on a popular weekend, you might need to walk around for a bit to find a suitable spot.

Are there trees near the lake? I’m interested in hiking in but I would be sleeping in my hammock. Thoughts?

Thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures and your experience.
I was wondering if you needed a permit/ or to check-in with anyone before camping up here. Is it safe to leave your car parked at the trailhead?

Thanks,
Samantha

We did not need a permit for this hike. While we were there, it wasn’t crowded at all.
