Sunrise
Lake Campground is located just below the ski slopes
at Sunrise Mountain Ski Resort, which should tell you that
you are pretty high up in the mountains. Ponderosas and
aspens surround the campground that has 200 campsites. A
store is located back by the turnoff to the ski resort,
and there is a restaurant at the Sunrise Ski Lodge. Boat
rentals are available back in lakeside and it is much nicer
during the summer months to be out on a boat. Rainbow trout
get pretty large in this body of water and ice fishing is
extremely popular here.
Directions
From
Pinetop take S.R. 260 east for 23 miles to S.R. 273 and

and turn right. Take an immediate left and follow to the
campground a half mile away.
