I was there for two nights. First off I really enjoyed the views. Being it sits at around 6,900 elevation, you can see a long way. Being that high also made it cooler than the valley below. The nights weren't very cold. There is plenty of places to hike. The cell service was a bit spotty but works. The restrooms were clean for a the vault toilet. I was up there with family and we had a dog. A lot of dogs with people there. All were managed well. There is not much wood around for camp fires. So you might want to bring some if you plan on a fire in the provided pits. Around noon some of the camp sites don't provide much shade. So additional shade is a good option. There is running water spread around the spaces.
Always a good time! The camp host is attentive and vault toilet bathrooms are cleaned multiple times a day. Potable water. We love coming here.
This campground is so beautiful, relaxing, tranquil place I’ve ever been with my family. My dad, his brothers & sisters grew up having fun in these mountains & I can see why. You could hear cows in the distance, squirrels all over the place, & a baby chipmunk running around. The campgrounds were spaced out more than comfortably & our camp was clean when we arrived. The atmosphere was so pretty & so many different trees flowers & plants to look at.
Didn't go to the campground - took a right and headed south on East Fork Mink Creek trail. Explored 2-3 miles out and back. Absolutely gorgeous!
Beautiful campground near the top of scout Mountain.. surrounded by old-growth pine trees and beautiful wild flowers. The views are breathtaking there Pit toilets could use a little attention but they were doable. Each campsite came with a picnic table and a fire ring. My site was all concrete so I was level. It was very peaceful and I would definitely return.
