Gillette Campground
Gillette Campground is located directly across from Lake Gillette, approximately a quarter mile from the lake's shore and surrounded by a stand of lodgepole pine and tamarack.
Gillette Campground boasts 29 reservable single campsites, potable water (available through September), and vault toilets on site.
This forested campground provides shade to many of the campsites. Gillette Lake is nearby and can be accessed by foot from the campground.
The campsites are nice and big but not private. A covered area with a large tree trunk is an interesting attraction along with access to Rufus and Springboard Trails. Gillette Lake is in walking distance. The Springboard Trail #149 leaves from this campground. The campground and much of the surrounding area is open to licensed OHV use.
