Customer Reviews
The campground anly getting closed for the Season. When its very called in there which is making the place to be not safe for peoples and horses, as you know there is a hors rides available when its open, and also form the wiled fires that had to destroy the area. Now its getting recoverd, and baing closed is for that right now is more important. The road to there is never closed. When y I u driving to the Forest Service Renger Station, before two memorial crests, htere is a rod going down on left. That one will brings you to the lighning campground, asa well as Massengers campground. The gate only closed from the beginning of the Lightning campground.
dope spot but you gotta drive pretty deep into the forest
I was passing through and wanted to check out this campground. It is currently closed. There are water spigots which are turned off--not surprisingly. There appear to be horse corrals. The roads to get here are closed to cars.
Area closed due to recovery from Sand Fire. You can get a ticket for being in this area.
