Beautiful campground. Not a lot of shade in the spots closer to the highway. Restroom located in the turn around. Water available via pump about halfway in. No trash collection or receptacles, pack in, pack out. This campground is a good go to when spots closer to Stanley and Stanley Lake fill up. Gone up numerous 4th of July weekends to find a spot here. Pretty amazing considering there are only 5 campsites. Motorcycle camping friendly. Just a short drive to Stanley. No cell service here. Bring bug spray as the mosquitoes will be out and about, worse from about 4 PM to 8 PM. Will be back!
