About Hazard Lake Campground
Situated along the shore of Hazard Lake at an elevation of 7,050’, Hazard Lake Campground presents convenient lakeside access and abundant recreational opportunities. Each of 12 sites includes a fire ring and picnic table. Potable water is typically available July – September. The Upper Hazard Lake Trail 169 departs directly from Hazard Lake. The surrounding area presents plenty of additional trail access for multiuse enjoyment. Motorized use on the lake is limited by a “no wake” restriction and there is no boat ramp available so lightweight, portable watercraft are recommended. All sites are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and camping is limited to an 14 day stay. The Interagency Pass and Golden Age Passport are accepted at this site. There are no hookups or trash receptacles. Please pack out your trash. [Hazard Lake Campground Recreation Opportunity Guide…
