Quiet primitive campground by creek
This is a small 6 site, quiet campground with picnic tables and flat gravel tent pads and a pit toilet. It fills up on weekends quickly and is a great location to explore Fulford cave ( permit needed online). Also it is at the start of the trail to lake Charles.
Great time with kids
We stayed here one night on our way to Moab in late June 2016. My kids (under 10) loved the beaver pond and exploring the cave. The last mile or so of road up is a little rough but there were still folks with cars there. Just have to go slow. Campsite was crowded. By nightfall only one campsite was open and it was a Thursday night. I wish it was a little easier to get down to the stream. It was quite a drop.
