The only problem with this campground was that dogs were constantly running around not on a leach. I was riding on a motorcycle and dogs chased me around the campground.

an absolutely gorgeous get away. If you're looking for FCFS sites here, good luck! My group of 7 got lucky because we found nice people however, we saw many people come and go throughout our weeks stay though so if you can't find a site one day, come through again the next to check availability. Hiking Teddy's peak if you're in shape is a good time but godspeed to you if you're even slightly out of shape lol. Check out the Spanish peak at sunset.. you'll love the views guaranteed. Bring bear spray, family friendly, great guides, breathtaking views and overall highly rec this place - crazy views and good vibes all around.

It was difficult to find info on hiking trails, and national forest offices were closed.
Campsites were large and spaced far apart.
