Wow that was a gem to find for me personally. Beautiful forest. There are a lot of other campgrounds nearby as well that you can visit. The only thing I really did not like is that you have to book it for 2 days minimum, always! Even when booking a group camp for 50-70 people. Which is kind of weird. Also it's weird as 1 camping spot has a limit of 6 people and 1 car, but group camp is allowed up to 10 cars and 70 people, however it is not that much bigger. It is only like 3 times bigger and has more tables. And 2 group camps are right next to each other.

Cool campground with some great views. When we went 7/7-7/10 many of the sites were closed due to hazardous trees (which is why the closures seem a little random). When we saw the camp hosts a couple days in they mentioned they had just been notified the Friday of 4th of July weekend that the sites would have to be closed. Sites are very big a spread out. Our last night we were the only people in our part of the campground. There’s only two bathrooms and they are spread far from each other but pretty clean. No water, no bear boxes, so be prepared for that—though we didn’t see any bears and the general store is about a 15 minute drive away. For whatever reason google maps makes it seem like it will take 50 minutes to get there, but it’s much shorter. Some of the road is pretty rough as you get deeper into the campground. Best views are if you walk through the group sites—really spectacular sunset watching there. Weather really varied for us. First night was very cold and quite windy and I wish I had thought ahead to bring a heavier jacket. Wind calmed the next day and the rest of our time there it wasn’t really present in the evening. Day time temps were nice—sweatshirts in the morning, but then easily could be in tanks and shorts during the day—never too warm. We stayed at site 16.

Spacious campground with nice scenery. There aren’t really any hikes nearby so you kind of just have to hang at your campsite. Not rating it any higher because there was a noose hanging from one of the trees at our campsite (#3) which was super creepy. We told the park ranger about it and he said he “didn’t think it was dangerous” but let us change campsites because we were uncomfortable to one that was supposedly closed due to “hazardous trees”. There was also this weird doll wrapped in rope by the noose so not sure what kind of creepy things are happening up here.

Great campgrounds, with a beautiful sunset spot. Bathroom's were cleaner than most mountain restrooms. I'll note there's no water so plan accordingly. 80° day 55° night mid July.

Best camping spot in the area, dry camping but shaded slots and 8200ft altitude with long distance 360° views of the valleys, mountains and area.Great hiking spot to neighboring area. Easy access and not a steep incline to the camp, all paved till the camp which is mainly dirty roads and new pit toilets and picnicking tables. Campsites have plenty of space between them as well.
