Group campsite

There are three group campsites in this area. They are spread out enough that you still have privacy. The largest site has electric access in the parking lot area. The other two sites are dry camping but you are able to pull your rv to the site. We have two 5th wheels 33 and 36 foot and were easily able to pull in with plenty of room for more parking. Each site has two pit toilets and the camp host cleans them every morning. Cell service is decent. Water is available at each site but for things like washing dishes. Not to fill rv. There are hiking trails in the campground.

Great group sites!

We camped here with a group before getting evacuated from the 416 fire. The pit toilets were clean, and there was lots of privacy from other groups. Lots of space.
