Stunning views

Next to a nice flowing river/creek with fishing available, tall pine trees with aspen trees hidden in between them are a gem. There are bear boxes which I suggest you use since there are bears around and we seen a couple of them in the campsite while camping, nice spot for you tents, picnic tables, fire pit and a clean and non smelly vault toilets. You are a lil close to your neighbors but it didn’t bother us non they were all nice.
