Northwind Campground
Northwind Campground offers 9 first-come, first-served sites directly on Ice House Reservoir's north shore at 5,500 feet elevation, providing excellent access for boating, fishing, and water sports with a nearby boat ramp at Ice House Campground.
The small, rustic campground features vault toilets and fire rings but no potable water, requiring visitors to bring drinking water or treat lake water; sites accommodate tents, trailers, and RVs with picnic tables and bear boxes.
The campground operates seasonally from May through October at $10/night and provides direct access to the Ice House Bike Trail system, making it ideal for paddlers and anglers seeking a quieter, more primitive camping experience.
