Pleasant Campground

Pleasant Campground offers a unique and remote escape for those looking to immerse themselves in the rugged beauty of the Eldorado National Forest. Tucked away on the eastern shore of Loon Lake, this site is accessible exclusively via a hike from the Loon Lake Trailhead or by boat from the main boat ramp. Its secluded location makes it a perfect destination for adventurers seeking peace, quiet, and a true wilderness experience away from the bustle of developed parks.

The terrain surrounding the campground features the pristine, high-alpine environment typical of the region, providing a stunning backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts. As a primitive USFS site, the campground operates without hookups, making it well-suited for self-sufficient tent campers and those who enjoy minimalist car camping or backcountry-style excursions. The area is defined by its direct access to local hiking trails, inviting visitors to explore the natural landscape on foot.

This site is best suited for experienced tent campers and outdoor adventurers who are comfortable with a carry-in, carry-out approach. Whether you are paddling across the lake or trekking through the forest to reach your site, the journey to Pleasant Campground is part of the charm. It is an ideal spot for those wanting to disconnect and enjoy the serene, untouched atmosphere of California's high country.
