Dense forest cover and eight miles of washboard road create a remote setting at this 12-site campground within Grand Mesa National Forest. The Forest Service facility operates seasonally from May through September, with vault toilets and trash service but no potable water or firewood available on-site.
Campers find a mix of drive-in and walk-in sites, though many picnic tables have settled low into the ground over time. The heavily shaded environment limits solar power effectiveness, while nearby lakes provide water access despite seasonal drawdowns. Mosquitoes are common during peak season. For different terrain and easier access, Big Creek sits three miles west with similar amenities.
