Nice quiet campground. At 3,400 feet, it is quite pleasant for August with wonderful camping weather. Sometime being in the clouds can be wet. Facilities are nice as well.

This will be the second time this year we camped at Standing Indian to cool off during these
oppressively hot summer months. As usual, the experience at the campground was great, but best of all, it's close to numerous small rivers and streams where a few trout are available for the patient fisherman.
