Lake Camp Details
Lake Camp is the only point within the park to which you can drive. Located on the shores of Naknek Lake, Lake Camp has parking and a boat launch to access Lake Brooks and the Savonoski Loop. The area has restrooms and a picnic area. If you plan to leave your vehicle here for more than 72 hours you must notify the superintendent and get permission to do so. Within 100-feet of the boat launch you are required to reduce your boat to a flat-wake speed.
