Well maintained and gorgeous views!

We stayed at the group camp site and had a great experience! The vault toilets were the cleanest I’ve ever seen. Staff came by twice a day to clean and remove trash. The road coming in from the mail camp site is quite bumpy and you have to go super slow. I recommend taking Jones Gulch Rd in instead. The views were amazing!
