The larger loop is slightly less private, but has better access to the fishing dock and the lake in general.

Nearby Bonaparte Lake Resort provides a small store, propane, cabins, and boat rentals, but is too cluttered to recommend for camping.

Bonaparte Mountain Trail #306 leads to an historic lookout tower and cabin built in 1914 and now on the National Register of Historic Places.
