Marvine Campground

I have been camping at this campground for the last 35 years. Since the FS has turned over management of the campground, to a private company the fees have increased, and the management has decreased. Camping fees and rules are unclear. The signs regarding fees state a campsite and horse corral are a certain amount. The sign does not indicate that only applies to the "undeveloped" campsite immediately adjacent to the horse corrals. Placing a moveable fire pit and a picnic table next to a horse corral does NOT make it a campsite. Campsite in the campground have access to water and a pit toilet. Campsite next to the horse corrals do NOT. Why can't I pay for a campsite in the developed campground and pay for a corral. The private company requires that you pay for a campsite in the campground and pay for a campsite and corral outside of the designated campground, even though in 35 years I have never seen all of the corrals occupied at the same time. I have written the FS and the private company for 2 years and will again this year to bring this issue to their attention. If you camp and have horses your campsite is within 6 ft of the corral. Very little room to saddle your horse outside of the corral if you are also camping in a trailer or tent.

Remote place, very remote :) You need to plan well before going. Amazing location very quiet and calm. If you like hiking, you will really enjoy this place ~ trial heads are very close ….We stayed for 2 days and had a good time! Drive heading to east side of RM would be a nice experience 👌

We did not get to go because of a fire that closed the road to get there and was not offered a refund.
