Summary
Reservations are required (via Recreation.gov), and a fee applies. Sites feature picnic tables, fire rings with grills, vault toilets, and potable water; however, there are no RV hookups. RVs are allowed but must be self-contained. The campground provides a peaceful, high-elevation (over 8,000 ft) retreat surrounded by pine and aspen, with access to hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing nearby. Ideal for group gatherings, the best time to visit is late spring through early fall due to snow closures in winter.

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.
