Our Services
Be Prepared
Red Rock Lakes is a remote site that is at least 40 miles from the nearest gas station, store, or mechanic shop. The gravel roads can be rough on tires and vehicles can get stuck in snow or mud, so vehicles with 4-wheel drive and high clearance are recommended. Cell service is also limited for most carriers, so we encourage visitors to check in with someone they know or carry a satellite device for communication. Our facilities and staff are unable to provide maintenance, fuel, or repair services to the public, so we recommend arriving with a full fuel tank, a spare tire, patch kit, and an inflator.
Visitor Center
With the exception of federal holidays, we are open on Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
Wheelchair-accessible public restrooms and a bottle filling station are available to visitors during open hours. A vault toilet outside is available when the visitor center is closed. Picnic tables are set up during summer months, but there are no public waste disposal facilities and trash must be packed out.
From grade school to college, we are able to accommodate school groups and can facilitate curriculum-specific learning experiences for students during their visit. To coordinate your school group visit, reach out to our Refuge Manager.
Campgrounds
Red Rock Lakes operates two primitive campgrounds with sites available on a first come, first served basis.
