Good spot

Had a nice time here with the family.  The spots are spaced out decently.

Walking distance to the creek!

Great dispersed campsite. Can’t remember how many sites but there are quite a few. Vaulted toilets are available, picnic tables and fire rings. First come first served. There is a camp host usually... not sure why? Plenty of firewood to gather. We went in July and it was upper 80’s during the day, perfect at night for a fire. Short walk to Lower Canyon Creek where the waters were icy cold. Great trout fishing - north of the bridge, catch and release only south of the bridge with barbless lures only. Only downside is the dusty ground- It’s time they move the sites because they are well worn.
