Frenchman Campground is situated on a hillside next to the Frenchman Boat Launch Facility. The campground remains open throughout the year. Between peak seasons, water is turned off, trash service ends and fees are not collected. In winter, snow usually closes the road. In late April or early May fees are collected. 17 of the 38 campsites may be reserved. This campground has seasonal water, paved roads and vault toilets. Campsite amenities include paved parking pad, table, fire ring and grill.
