Have always loved this small free campground however now there is a fee of $26 to $28 and there is nothing there except a small bathroom. There is no trash recep. The very nice host from one of the other large campgrounds a couple of miles down the road comes to collect money. Really not worth it anymore. There was no other campers there for the 4 nights we were there probably because it is simply not worth it. Used to see a lot of Chipmunks but they seem to left also. Probably won't stop there anymore. 😒

Road Canyon was so green and beautiful this year. We have gone often because it is centralized to several lakes to fish. This year we actually had a bear visit our camp.

4 stars for scenery! Out of the way non supervised campground on the way to 30 mile. Fishing just feet from camp. No amenities. Self sufficiency is a must!
