Listed: campgrounds in a recreation area named after Independence Lake, or within 10 miles of its gauge or dam location (straight-line, not driving distance), so some may be in nearby forest rather than on the shore. Only federal campgrounds (Army Corps, Forest Service, Park Service, BLM, Reclamation) are listed; state-park and private campgrounds are not included. Check the managing agency for seasons, fees and closures.
