Lindbergh Lake Campground

I’m newly in love with the $10 National Forest camp. This one offers 25 sites. We picked the first loop. We scored with site 20, which offered a short path to a lakeside beach with enough privacy to allow the dogs to swim without bothering other campers.
Pit toilets were clean (even smelled good) and within easy walk.
We were car camping x 2. If you’re in a larger rig, you might like spot 23, which has a huge back yard of forest and it’s own small path to a beach.
I’m no expert, but I’d say your rig shouldn’t be over 30 feet total for that larger spot.
There’s a boat ramp in this loop, and plenty of bear boxes, which we eyed but eschewed without issue.
The next morning, we drove the Toyota another seven miles toward Crystal Lake to see what the camping was like. We saw trails but not much for camping—one gorgeous overlook that you should avoid on a windy day.
The four dirt miles into Lindbergh were no problem for my Dodge Ram van.
Very spotty cell service—as it should be.

Stayed here last night because all the sites at Holland Lake were taken. This campground is only a couple miles from all the fun at Holland Lake and Falls. It’s broken into two parts, the main area next to the lake, and then an additional area that’s actually an earlier turn in on the road. Both areas were primitive I believe.
The additional sites all seemed to be surrounded in dense woods, which was awesome. Made for a quiet, enjoyable sleep.
The dirt road in from the highway is a good place to see a lot of deer.
At $0 a night, this was a great overnight spot.
Bring your mosquito spray though...
