Quiet and good views

The road up for about a quarter mile was one lane not too bumpy. Campsite was quiet with great views of the peaks. Early October 2025.

There's not many spots that I found.

No spots the first time I came so I spent the night in the parking lot which I don't think counts as designated. Found 1 open one a week later. Wish there was more. Plenty of space for it. 2 porta johns at the parking area. Seems like people have been giving the bunnies veggies! I'll allow it.

Amazing views

Several sites, not sure how many. First come. The views from some of Mt.Princeton are amazing. I drove my van up no problem but bigger RVs may be challenging.
