Nice small campgrpund

This small CG has 11 FCFS sites. About 1/2 are RV or trailer size. Trappers lake complex is about 5 mi. Campground host onsite, firewood for sale. $22/$12 senior. No cell signal on T-Mobile for me. CG has tables, fire rings, one vault toilet and one dumpster. Bear boxes are at each site. NO WATER, system looks to be kaput. Trail goes down to river for fishing.

Remote, Limited Access

You can only get here for 6 months of the year, otherwise, it's a nice site and very peaceful.
