The place

Campground closed due to damage from the 2020 August Complex fires. Reconstruction will resume in summer 2025. At Hammerhorn there are nine campsites and three bathrooms including one accessible site and bathroom. There is access to potable water spigots. There is a trailer pull through site. It is not paved. The location is mostly a coniferous/fir forested area with smaller deciduous trees/bushes. The campground sits a short distance above the lake. The accessible trail around the lake is about 40% complete. There is a five-acre lake for trout fishing, however it is not stocked and fishing unavailable due to low water levels.
