Beautiful spot. Well maintained. Not many sites at this location, so I imagine reservations are a very good idea. Temps down to mid 40s at night in July, so plan accordingly.

Stayed one night at this lovely campground with a rushing mountain stream nearby. Campground and restrooms were very clean. Host stopped by to make sure we were getting settled. She was very personable. Had a great overnight stay.

Quiet campground. Site 3 was away from other sites next to a creek, very peaceful. Due to the altitude, very cool temperature's. No cell service at all.

Campground is great. Camp host was wonderful. Site 1 is NOT a double site. You cannot fit 3 RV’s. 4 vehicles if you only tent camp. Two picnic tables and grills does not make it a double site Forest service. We had 2 5x9 small trailers and 2 vehicles. Barely enough room for that and we had to get creative. The picture is misleading.

  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
