About
Overview
This is a popular 8 unit campground located along a small creek suitable for fishing. Large Ponderosa Pine and Douglas Fir shade the areas during the day.
This location is available on a first-come, first-served basis only. Visitors are required to physically arrive at the campground to purchase and claim a site. Once on-site, you may be able to pay for your campsite(s) by scanning a QR code using the Recreation.gov mobile app, and the Scan and Pay feature.
If this option is available, you will need to first download the free Recreation.gov mobile app https://www.recreation.gov/mobile-app prior to your arrival as some remote areas have limited or no cellular service.
Facilities
No hook-ups and no potable water are available. You will need to bring your own water. The typical operating season is mid-May through the end of November.
