There are multiple tables and shaded cover areas! The bathrooms are very close as well. I recommend doing the Mastodon Peak hike near the site as well!

People with no reservations often use the camping area instead of the picnic area. Also neighbors are often noisy and disruptive. The place is great though. Just a bit more ranger presence would be nice.

We had a large group that use all three group sites in this area. What a great location! Lots of space to spread out, picnic tables and shade structures were in great shape, and there were plenty of fire rings to choose from. The bathrooms were kept clean and stocked with toilet paper by the ranger staff. There is also lots of parking for these sites. It was really nice that the group sites were separated by some distance from the other camping/RV sites. The location gave us access to some great hiking and the south side of the park was a bit warmer than the north side since the elevation at this site is only about 3000' ASL. The only suggestion I would have for this location would be to add a light in the restroom or maybe even one of those solar tube lights through the ceiling. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
