Beautiful and quiet

We stayed here one night in our camper van. There was only one other camper. We enjoyed the beautiful meadow, with its wildflowers and wildlife. The pit toilets were maintained. No trash cans, so take out what you bring in.

I love this little campground

This campsite is a repeat location for family. I almost didn’t even want to post a review so I could keep it hidden. Located right next to a large meadow, we almost always see elk or deer. There is also a nice trail next to a creek but the path was over grown when we tried to hike down it. The road down to the campsite is in good shape, but the sites are small. Perfect for 1-2 tents.

Vault toilet and no other amenities. Bring water.

This is a popular site for hunters during elk/deer season. We often find carcasses and bones around the site.

KP Cienega

Great little campground!  Only 5 sites, just one that you can get a small rv onto.  Over looking a beautiful meadow.  Couple miles in off 191, dirt road was in great shape.  Very secluded and quiet.

Snow in May!

Lovely little campground at the bottom of the road with plenty of fields nearby. We saw deer bounding across the field, and felt it to be perfectly situated amongst the trees. Vault toilet nearby, we enjoyed a campfire and went to bed. Woke up the next morning to SNOW!
