Beauty little campground nestled in behind the Absaroka's. Pretty well spaced out lots, fire rings, up to date picnic tables, no bear boxes though (unless I missed them). Couple of vault toilets and also a cabin for rent right on the creek. Open throughout the winter as well.
Nice little trail to take as well that eventually opens up to a meadow and small lake. From there you can make it what you want. Tough going in the winter normally, major snowshoe territory. Summers can be hot and definitely in bear country, so be prepared with hydration and bear spray.
Totally worth the efforts just know the drivable road dead ends at the campground even though maps look as though it continues on. Definitely an in and out trip.
It is really fun to camp there. Excellent for tents or RVs. Don't go in early August; there is WAY too many mosquitoes 🦟
