Beautiful campground with a small river running through it. Hiking trails in many areas in and around the campground. Peaceful, clean, nice facilities, great staff! Go there often even though we only live 15 miles away. Last visit about 40 elk cows and calf’s wandered by 15 feet from our site. Talk about up close and personal with the locals.
One of our favorite places.

It was great. Loved when the Elk came through the camp site. Weather was great for it to be in the winter.
