Nice. Quiet and clean. Excellent views. Good camping sites, $15/night. About 60% of the spots have very flat pads for tents, the rest are OK but not bad. Two double outhouses, one at either end. No water. If you’re tent camping, avoid camp #2 as it’s almost all sloped and it was the only one passed over by everyone when I was there.

The campground is at 10,200 ft. Be prepared for that. Lots of tree cover, but it gets very cold at night and the wind, rain, and storms can be intense. Anyone going out here should already be well familiar with that though.

Access is good, easy to turn in and around - but no host that I saw.

Only negatives to consider:

1. Mosquitos. There are a lot. Be prepared.

2. It gets pretty busy, so get in before noon for

sure.

3. ZERO cell service of any sort. From any carrier. Period. Be prepared for that. We had phones from ATT, Verizon, Sprint and TMobile - nothing, not even for a second. Your phone will not work. I used my inReach to let people know where we were, this is firmly satphone country. Every time I go out, lots of people from the city don’t seem to get that plenty of places with no cell service still exist. This is one of them, prepare accordingly.

4. It had rained a lot when we got there, and was raining at the time - the road was pretty washed out with lots of holes and bumps. I would not recommend a low clearance vehicle. (The road inside the camp itself was fine though.)

5. Not an issue with the campground itself, but if you go any further past this campground on Rt. 22, the road gets really rough, especially above tree line which is only 1/4 mile away. That being said, the campground has a lot of traffic turning around it it through the day. Zero problems at night though and the road was dead quiet after dark.
