Chalk Lake Campground is the very best organized camp space on Mount Princeton. The sites along the creek are especially beautiful and tranquil. The lake is just up the road and the fish are hungry. :-)
Camp host Randy is absolutely the best! He is kind and friendly and just wants everybody to have what they need and have fun!

Beautiful campground- we stayed in site 12- right along the river. Plenty of space and a big tent pad to fit our tent. Kids had a blast!

So beautiful!!! We had a great stay. Awesome view of a waterfall from our site #19. We were across the driveway from the water, but there were access pointed between sites so we got to enjoy that as well. They did have to turn off the water pump during our stay, so might be worth making sure you have some with you!
