An absolute treasure, the waterfalls tucked away here make you feel like you have discovered another world that is untouched. There is very little foot traffic and very simple trails to these amazing locations. UPDATE - I have since revisited after it reopened in September of 2021 (from the Ice Lake fire in 2020) and this area is nearly the same, with the exception of the falls to the north of the road now completely destroyed.

Great campground for Boondocking a short distance to Silverton where you can pick up water and dump for $10 each. There have been moose spotted and a bear you have a small creek that runs through the south side of the campground if you were lucky you can back up to it. There is a vault toilet that they keep pumped out this year there has been a lot of people at through this area camping with tents and trailers about three times its normal. You can go walking through the woods and hiking up the sides of the mountain if you walk on the dirt road it may be dusty some people are courteous others are not about when they pass you. The campground is clean The only loud noises you will hear our generators but those are usually not started till eight and off by 10 PM.

Great location. Clean toilets. Could have a better system for getting a camping spot.

Absolutely loved our stay at this campground. Impeccably clean vault toilets, lots of space between sites, and a really great camp host. One of the nicest forest service campgrounds we've visited. We even had deer visiting our site each night!
