Camping East of East Red Castle Lake - Uintas Utah

[Steven.reed.smith]

Planning a backpacking trip to the Uintas and want to base camp near East Red Castle Lake. I'm thinking the area marked below on the map (blue triangle). I hammock and my hiking mates tent. Concerned about stunted pines and rocky ground. Anyone familiar with this area? Pictures appreciated!

I've camped right in that area a few years ago. Here are some photos. There are spots you can find for a tent. Not sure about a Hammock. All of these photos are going to be very slightly south of your marker by those first small little lakes

Thank you! Photos are very helpful.

I've camped here before and found the better campsites to be near the smaller lakes to the south. Quiet area considering you're near the Lower Red Castle crowd and a short hike to the Yellowstone drainage with a Kings Peak crowd.
