About
Lake Como Campground sits in a stand of mixed pine and fir trees within the Lake Como Recreation Area, one of three campgrounds in the area. The single-loop design provides good privacy between sites, with a grassy understory throughout. All sites are paved pull-throughs measuring 125 feet, making this campground well-suited for larger RVs. Each site includes electric and water hookups, and the campground provides potable water, garbage collection, and an on-site camp host. The campground serves as a gateway to the 913-acre Lake Como, which offers a large sandy beach with a designated swimming area and a motorized boat ramp on the south side of the dam. The Lake Como National Recreation Trail provides hiking opportunities in the surrounding area. This is active bear country, and campers must follow Forest Service food storage requirements. Three sites and four vault toilets meet ADA accessibility standards. Camping is limited to 7 consecutive days, with quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM. Pets must be leashed at all times and are prohibited on the beach and in the swim area. A day-use pass ($5/day or $30/season) is required in the recreation area from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
