Round Valley Campground

We took the tram up and hiked our way to the Round Valley campsite. It was a 2.5 hike to get to our campsite. Be prepared for the incline and elevation. Lotus was a nice big area that overlooked the other side of the mountain with some very nice views. Be on the look out for the R3 post that leads to Lotus. Stay on the trail and follow the twigs and rocks when the path becomes indistinguishable.

Been up here many times. Found nice secluded site in Round Valley during a short backpacking trip. Recent trail work near Round Valley and Tamarack looks great. Water was available with purification at Round Valley, Willow Creek, and Wellman Springs. Great for x-country snow shoe trips in winter. If you insist on a campfire, go elsewhere.

Great place for day hikes or overnights. You need a permit for both so plan head for overnights that get filled up during the summer. Day hike permits are no problem. Warning! You are up in elevation fast taking the tram. Be in shape or go very easy.

This camp ground gives you a nice little view of the meadow that is surrounded by towering trees, giving the great feel of truly being in the deep woods. Water source and toilets are also not too far from the camp ground. If you stand in the middle of the meadow, you can see the top of the peak. The spring time is beautiful and better for newer hikers as the winter and snow can add an aspect of difficulty with making sure you stay on the trail and having the right gear to stay warm.
