I loved this location, maybe it was the snow alongside the road, maybe it was the pine and aspen trees but it was beautiful. Traveling in this area I had been able to bend the rules a couple of locations due to dumb luck but this one wasn't one of those. I had to admire the campground from a walking tour only and make plans to come back sometime after May when it reopens.

Walking though I was very impressed by the layout of the campground, plenty of space for someone like myself who travels in a small car and takes my tent. It didn't look ideal for longer RV units however.

It is a very small campground with only a handful of spots and they do not take camping reservations at this site so you have to make sure you arrive early to stake your claim. It is popular amongst ATVers I later found out so weekends can be a bit tough, so come if you can during the week.

There was a river/creek running and the sound of the water was amazing, I can only imagine sleeping at night with that sound nearby being very peaceful.

This campground does not offer amenities like hook ups and has vault toilets, even those were closed up for the season unfortunately when I was there, in fact there wasn't anything on the mountain nearby even remotely looking open for restrooms. So note to travelers be prepared to make your potty or hold it.

TIPS:

• Check out Chalk Lake campground also if this one is full they are both very close to one another and small but that one doesn't usually have as many ATVers.

• Bring your fishing pole. There is fishing allowed in the area water including Chalk Creek and Chalk Lake.
