Quiet campsite near a flowing stream

Nice clean campsite. Clean toilets. Many campsites had shade. Host was friendly and informative. This year, instead of dropping payment inside of an envelope and into a dropbox, the host will circulate the grounds in the evening and collect payment. This is a bit of an inconvenience if you want to explore and the host is not present. It might be ok to make payment next morning.

Great hikes and views, even better campground host!

Snowblind is a great campsite for tent camping and also rvs and pull behinds. The road up to the campsite is 8 miles off the highway so no traffic to be heard, but is an easy drive. There are a few hikes you can do that send you to some amazing views! Tommy the campground host is one of the coolest we've ran into, and will help ya anyway you need! Great place, awesome ppl, and beautiful view!
