Offering access to Diamond Peak Wilderness, this primitive campground is next to the beautiful Summit Lake. Mosquitoes can be particularly bothersome.The access road (Forest Road 6010) to reach this campground is only recommended for high clearance 4x4 vehicles. There is a beach launch boat ramp area within this campground.
From Crescent, travel 12.2 miles west on County Road 61, then 3.5 miles north on Hwy 58, then 7.2 miles west on Forest Road 60, then 6.5 miles west on Forest Road 6010 (high clearance vehicle recommended). Forest Road 6010 is not maintained for low clearance vehicles.
Thousands of mosquitoes and no fish in the lake, still a quite spot
Beautiful lake to relax with friends, pack in and pack out with only a few spots.
Loud stereos, motorboats, jet skis and a ton of children running through the campgrounds. There's really nowhere to go or hike to from here and with the roads open again there's no reason to stop.
We camped here for a night after all other camp grounds around the area were totally full. It was beautiful and there wasn't another person around for miles. They have a bathroom, potable water is available about 10 miles away if needed. The only reason we didn't stay longer was we were looking to fish and this lake does not have any fish in it at all.
