In recent history, a multi-cultural group of community members formed the Konkow Partnership to attempt to hold, steward, and preserve the wilderness that survives here. We look forward to your post fire visit. Learn more about this land: Congratulations Campers! The campground is reopened after the last couple of years of wild fires and tough winters.

It's a good place to go if you want to sit back and relax and read a book and enjoy the view of the lake and the sounds of nature.
