Enjoy nearby lake access for boating, Jet Skiing, Paddle Boarding, Fishing, windsurfing and swimming. Off-road enthusiasts can access miles of trails right across the road from the campground. Skiing and snowboarding are a short drive away. Visit the Trail of 100 Giants, Silver City Ghost Town and Nuni Cunni Native American Inter-Tribal Cultural Center.
