It looks like they have been farming the national forest for trees :-( it looks so sad I could not even stay this time. There was a bobcat parked in my favorite campsite and tire tracks running through so many campsites. SUCH A MESS. What is happening out there??
I have not camped here, but used the day parking for horseback riding. Small 3 dollar fee for day use, 5 dollar fee for camping. Easy trailer parking. Lots of grassy area and a couple big shade trees for the horses pleasure after a nice long run. The grass is in the day parking area, I don't know about the camp area which is a short driveway further. I did see the camp area and don't recall much grass, but a lot of shade. Water spigot at day area is also super nice to have! Hardly anybody there both weekends I went. Love, love the well marked, wide single track trails. Looks well maintained and excellent footing in my opinion. Bathroom in camp area and looks like shared campfire ring. Only 5 dollars to camp. I will try one time for sure.
Love this place! Quiet, shaded, spring water available at spigots, AFFORDABLE! Harder to find a spot in fall though due to hunters buying spots out for the season.
