Great for beginner backpackers

This is such a little gem in the mountains! The hike in is only 1.5 miles, but there's plenty of trail options to tack on more mileage on either the hike in or out. The campground is small too, and not many people actually showed up to use their sites, so we had the place mostly to ourselves! The pit toilet and bear boxes on site take a lot of the stress out for beginner backpackers, and the view at sunset was gorgeous. Reserve permits ahead of time and make sure to follow the rules posted online.
