About
US Forest Service campground. Granite Springs campground has four campsites with metal fire rings, but no tables. It is an excellent area to stop and spend the night as you're traveling the Magruder Corridor. OHV riding is popular along the Magruder Corridor and on other Forest Service roads in the area. The campground has an information board and a vault toilet, but visitors should plan to bring their own drinking water. Pack out what you pack in. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
