Nice camping spot for family, somewhat secluded but only 10 min away from town if you need anything. Went on a Wednesday in June and there was only one other person there. Clean areas with fire pits. Bathroom ( hole in the ground with four walls) is available. No running water available. There is a nice running stream next to campground makes for nice scenary. I also took my 2017 Toyota 4runner up Hayden pass. Clearance was good but most of the drive was over sharp rocks, was worried about popping a tire, otherwise pretty fun. - Only gave 4 stars because the night fee of $15 I thought is a little steep. There is however free camping spots along the road to the campground, as well as some turn off spots going up Hayden pass were one might easily pitch a tent! But don't tell anyone...😂
We were looking for a secluded site with shade and found this great location. $18 per night. Only 11 sites but nice primitive campground near a rushing creek. No amenities except fire rings and 1 vault toilet (which was clean and odor free.) Hiking, ATV and dirt bike trails nearby. Road leading to it is dirt/gravel and very rough in places but passable. Sites will accommodate tents and vans. Maybe a pop up in a couple sites.
This is one of my favorite places. Really enjoyed it.
I really don't want to review this place because it will be overtaken with people who don't find value in the natural world. However. For me- this is my sanctuary. I leave exactly the way I found it. I EXPECT other visitors to do the same.
Secluded campground right on the Rainbow Trail. Each site is fairly secluded and separates by trees. A stream runs along the north edge, drowning out any noises from people. Only 2 other people camping while we were there. Single pit toilet that was clean, garbage dumpster, no potable water. The road to the campground was in great shape. One of the best campgrounds I've been to!
