Kite Lake Campground is a primitive, high-altitude camping area at 12,000+ feet offering five first-come, first-served sites ideal for hikers attempting nearby 14ers (Mt. Democrat, Lincoln, Cameron, and Bross).

The campground features vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables, but no potable water or trash service; visitors should bring all supplies and pack out garbage.

Access via 8-mile County Road 8 from Alma requires high clearance vehicles, operates mid-May through mid-October weather-dependent, and charges $15/night camping or $5 day-use fee; the lake offers fishing opportunities and the area experiences heavy summer traffic with early arrival recommended for site availability.
