Burnt trees all around

Fire hit this area hard and lots of burned trees and logging going on in the area. We used to come here a lot but its depressing to see so much destruction and hazardous trees. Most of our family doesn't want to stay up here anymore. Nice to have the stream near by but we always filtered the water from the creek.

By a creek :)

I’ve been here a handful of times, This is a former Boy Scout campground. No toilet. There’s a creek where the road first meets the campground. Potable water IMO but go ahead and boil it. Fire restrictions based on regional signage. I’ve had campfires fires here no problem. Existing fire rings. Plenty of wood in surrounding area but you can’t buy it, forage only. Chester is close enough to shop in.

Bugs are a problem (in summer?). bring bug spray and consider wasp traps too. Wasps are not angry kind but there’s millions. Wasps were not a problem for me in May.

This is an unmaintained campground. The grass is overgrown, the gravel is questionable. This is primitive car camping.

Halfway up from Chester to Juniper lake so great spot!
