Alison Berger | Nov 4, 2019

Are trails or sites still snow covered?Jun 9 2019. Where are the free sites and nearest water? Thanks!

Janine Whitehead | Nov 4, 2019

Free sites? Not that I know of. The campground is closed until mid July. Unless the old pump has been fixed, that is not likely, no drinking water anywhere in the campground Snow on the nearby trails is likely.
