Beautiful natural setting and mining history fascinating. However campground regulations are not enforced. Vehicles park on grass creating deep ruts with water sitting in them for days after rain. Number of vehicles per site exceeds policy, but not enforced.
Children speed around campground on e-bikes and e-scooters strafing pedestrians and going in wrong direction— a dangerous situation.

Campsites very close to each other. Even with different Neighbors we heard them coming (at 2:00am), leaving and just talking. Their campfire smoke blew straight into our camper van.
Shower okay but not many of them.

We enjoyed our stay. We were a little bit concerned when there was nobody to check us in but there was a Park Ranger that was going around and checking everything.

Policies & Rules
General
- Black bears and other wildlife frequent this campground. Please keep in mind that “food” to a bear includes any item with a scent, regardless of packaging. This may consist of items that you do not consider food, such as canned goods, horse feed, bottles, drinks, soaps, cosmetics, toiletries, trash, ice chests (even when empty), and unwashed items used for preparing or eating meals. All these items must be stored properly. --Secure coolers, grills, cooking utensils, horse feed, any food not in use, and anything with food odors inside the locked compartment of a vehicle or trailer or a bear proof storage locker if available. Food storage lockers each measure approximately 29" deep x 38" wide x 43" tall. --Wipe off picnic tables and grills. Properly discard aluminum foil used for cooking. --Avoid burning garbage in fire rings because it will leave behind grease and food scraps. --Always discard all garbage in wildlife proof trash cans or dumpsters. Keep a clean campsite. --Do not hang garbage from lantern poles. Following these guidelines will keep you from getting your property confiscated from your campsite. We appreciate your cooperation.
