A picturesque, shaded and spacious campground lacking vegetation or foliage between sites. The campground is open lawn under tall trees.
All four sites are waterfront, and a large group can reserve the entire campground with a few days notice. This is a tent-only walk-in campground, though the walk from car to campsite is extremely short.
The location is gorgeous, but fees are higher than nearby campgrounds that provide drinking water and garbage service. Picnic Point provides neither. It would be great to see the national forest restore drinking water service here.
Since the water pump at Picnic Point is without a handle and a sign says the well is being permanently closed, grab your water at the glacial spring or West Point Campground on your way in. Both are a short drive north.
For those willing to pay a top-tier price for minimal amenities, Picnic Point is a nice camping spot. It's also the only national forest campground in this region to stay open year-round.
