Great spot to camp if you want to get off grid. Lots of trail options and scenic views. Camp host Dave was quite informative and helpful. Water was out of order when we were there but plenty of clean river water

This is a beautiful area to visit. The Hot Springs are right down the road for you to enjoy and head up the mountain to visit the historic St. Elmo. Hiking and beautiful off road trails are also around for your enjoyment.

The camp host kept everything neat and clean. A plus was that he was also very friendly. The campsites and the restrooms were both immaculate.
