Headquarters Campground is located in the Medicine Lake Recreation Area. It is the fourth and last camp at Medicine Lake. After you pass the first three camps, the pavement ends and then it's less than a mile, past Little Medicine Lake.

Headquarters is the only campground at the MLRA not directly on the lake. Of course, that makes it the least popular, as well. It is still quite pretty though, and the lake is not too far away.

Headquarters is mostly used as an overflow campground, but it is a good place to get away from the crowds (relative) at the other campgrounds. Headquarters seems like an odd name, but it fits, seeing how it is next to the Ranger Station.
