Very nice dispersed campsite. Each site is equipped with fire pit, grill and picnic table. There is about a 4 mile unpaved road to get to the site so be prepared for that. There is Canyon Creek within walking distance of the site!
This camp is so much fun. It is a long drive and secluded. We went and we were the only people in the whole place! It was amazing. Wild cows, and a fun creek to swim in to cool down. No water so make sure you bring enough or a purification method. It’s very very dusty.
Was, my first time out there. It had amazing views, nice little spot to fish. And surrounded by other great lakes. I would love to get out there again soon.
Super beautiful camp site. Family friendly great for the kids. We were there for a few days. The river down the street is amazing. We could watch the trout.
This place is great for camping close to the creek and fishing is always fun beautiful scenery and wild life such as deer,elk and Chipmunks
Campground was excellent but it snowed and we were not prepared and had to leave early otherwise it was perfect.
Campsites are too close together, if you don't mind big groups around you blasting music then that's the place to be
