This location is available on a first-come, first-served basis only. Visitors are required to physically arrive at the campground to purchase and claim a site. Once on-site, you may be able to pay for your campsite(s) by scanning a QR code using the Recreation.gov mobile app, and the Scan and Pay feature.

Incredible campground. The road getting there is rough and rutted, that was the only negative. But the campground itself was pristine and along the gorgeous Hazard Lake. There's are great trailheads within the campground which made it lovely to not have to move your rig and go hike right from your site. We will definitely be back. The price is also a steal, hoping that doesnt change.

This is one of our favorite places to visit! The campgrounds are in excellent condition and very roomy. Enjoy being able to walk to the lake first thing in the morning with a cup of coffee to watch the sunrise and then can walk across from the campgrounds and watch the sunset. Having the option of hiking trails is a plus. Upper Hazard is just a short 2 mile hike and easy enough that young kids can do it.

Beautiful. Great time at Hazard and surrounding lakes. Kayaking around the lakes is peaceful and very few people while there. My only issue was the 2 camp trailers with generators running until 11pm at the prime lake view campsites. We didn't really want to pitch our tent next to that so chose a site without a lake view. Hiked into Big Hazard without a soul in site the whole time. Wonderful way to spend a few days.
