Love this place! Awesome campground with nice separation between sites. Has bathrooms, firepits, and tables at every site. Road leading up is a ton of fun, especially with an off road vehicle. Perfect 5/7

Great campground with large camp spots. Each space comes with one dedicated parking spot (and many could fit two vehicles parked tandem), picnic table, bear cabinet, and fire pit. We could easily fit 4-5 large tents in our space. Very dog friendly. No water but they have relatively clean vault toilets. Hiking trails close by.

Can arrive and get a spot after 4pm? Their number says they close at 4pm which is pretty early for us, thanks!

Jake Nuno | Aug 26, 2019
Tyler Rau | Aug 26, 2019

Technically yes, there is a self-pay envelope system. Weekends there is a camp host who will facilitate but off hours and weekdays I believe it's all done by envelope. It's first-come first-served though, so depending on the season and day of the week you arrive, you may be out of luck. Have a backup site in mind!

"Wild" horses, no. Bears? Yes. Squirells, hawks, owls, & the occasional straggling vermin comin' in to snatch your goodies? Theyre good company too.
