Great views, easy 24/7 access. Just pull up and set up camp. $10 a night deposit box
A wonderful, well maintained National Forest Campground. Pit toilets, picnic tables and fire rings. Level gravel parking areas. 24ft max I believe. Only $5 per night with America the beautiful pass. $10 without.
Pretty nice campsites that are fairly large. We had a nice walk out view from our site. This campsite is right across from Garden of the Gods so it can be tough to get a campsite. We hammock camp so we have to be selective of our campsite.
