Great group site in the middle of everything

This area offers fantastic dispersed camping, in a location that is close to town (Winter Park), yet feels remote and offers quick access to fishing as well as hiking & biking trails.

Most sites offer drive-up to the fire rings, while some of the tent pads are a small walk from the parking areas.

While it's been fairly dry the past couple of months, these sites were particularly dusty, so plan for a good day of cleaning gear (and pups) when you return.
