It's a lovely unkept campground nestled in the pines and aspens. 9 campsites and 4 horse sites. We came in with a self contained trailer. The bathroom is a vault. They have little air fresheners in them. USFS does not stop by too often. Bring your own tp. There is a water hand pump. You just about have to be Arnold Schwarzenegger STRONG to get it to pump water. Bring your own water. You can fill water jugs at the Bogard Rest Area. We did love our time while we were there. There is lots to explore in the area. It's beautiful.
Great campsite for people with ATV'S or horses. Free camping, clean toilets and hand pump potable water.
One of our favorites! Water table is way low though so they hand pump was only able to produce a couple gallons per day. Fortunately we had plenty and were able to share with a couple of others.
There for hunting trip nice quiet place to relax!
