Wonderfully remote and not too difficult to access for a newbie like me. Very limited amenities and a good distance to services. Camp host Linda keeps the mountain in great condition! Her passion shows!

Our camp host Linda was extremely helpfu
l in locating the perfect site for our group.
Linda also helped us throughout our stay, kept the facilities (restrooms) spotless, inquired how she might make our stay more enjoyable, and provided our group with lots of local information and helpful advice.
Linda is an incredible asset to the Forest service campground.

Linda, the campground host was fabulous. In addition to helping us determine which site was ours she did a great job keeping the restrooms clean. Great attitude!

Check in was suppose to be at noon on Sunday check out at 11, arrived at campground at 12:20 and every spot was full. Had to kick out who we find at camp. Two of the spots the people were not around, the one showed up at 3:00, had to ask them to leave, they were in no hurry and didn't leave til 4, the last site left from the weekend group didn't show up until after 4PM. They were very rude when we told them they couldn't be in the reserved area (they didn't pay either). By the time we could set up camp it was 5 PM. Check in was as noon. Very disappointed that this isn't monitored more. Waste of money making the reservation since we couldn't even have the campground we reserved.

Had an amazing experience. Encountered a mama and baby moose drinking from a puddle, while trail riding. It was awesome. We watched for a bit until baby laid in the puddle, so we respectfully turned around. We had 2 more come through the site next to us on the same night. And on the following day decided to ride the same trail. Mama and baby were in the same spot again. This time they disappeared into the woods. It was so exciting. Will definitely return next year.

Enjoyed the group campsites. They were clean and we had a great time. We saw lots of moose while we were there. Really exciting to see all the wildlife.
