Summary
Open mid-May to mid-September, it requires reservations (via Recreation.gov) and charges a nightly fee. Amenities include picnic tables, fire rings with grills, potable water, and vault toilets—no hookups or dump station. RVs up to 35 feet are welcome, though the campground is best for tent and small RV camping. Enjoy nearby trails like the Sourdough Trail and access to Indian Peaks Wilderness. The vibe is quiet and rustic, perfect for a forested mountain escape. Visit June–September for the best weather and wildflower blooms.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
