Favorite Hidden Gem

We have been camping this site every Spring for about 6 years. We do a family style tent camping. 15-40 ppl. Young kids to elderly adults. Everyone always loves it! Facilities are clean and well maintained, the area is safe, electricity on light poles, running water, use of massive fireplace, lots of shade, plenty of tables, climbing trees, space for horse shoes and other games, trees for slack line. A bit hard to book but highly recommend. No in and outs. Scheduled entry and departure: Ranger leads caravan in and out

Haven't stayed, looks a little run down

I came across this group campsite while on a long hike with a friend. I had no idea it existed, so I'm adding it to the Dyrt so more people can find it if they are looking for a group campsite. You can reserve it for large groups of 10-50 people. Some of the communal areas and fencing looked like it could use some resfreshing. Facilities available: Drinking Water, Flush Toilets, Showers, Tent Spaces, and Fireplace.

I recommend visiting in the spring, when things are greenest, and there are beautiful wildflowers.
