The White Mountain Wildlife and Outdoor Recreation division manages the wildlife resources and issues the permits required for picknicing, camping, fishing, and hunting. The department maintains more than 1,000 campsites complete with tables, fireplaces, sanitary facilities and other amenities. Campgrounds at Hawley Lake, Horseshoe Cienega and Reservation Lake are adjacent to store and boat rental concessions. The largest campsite at Sunrise Lake has 200 family units and a nearby boat rental and general merchandise outlet at Sunrise Resort. A camping permit is required for each designated campsite used.
Campgrounds are for the use of current permit holders only.
Due to the hazards associated with swimming in lakes and streams, swimming is not allowed in any reservation waters. It is illegal to leave a burning campfire unattended. Make sure all campfire coals are out when leaving a campsite. Only dead or down wood may be collected to use in campfires. It is illegal to cut green trees or break off branches from green trees.
