magical Eleven Mile

Camped here just for a night, but wish I could have stayed longer. It's considered a walk in site, but the walk is not far nor difficult. Near (fairly clean) vaulted toilets.

The sites are spacious, though not overly secluded. There are other campgrounds in the Eleven Mile Canyon that offer a bit more privacy, but they book up early. I chose site 19 since it seemed a bit more secluded -it was shaded which was a nice bonus.

The trail from the campground give a nice view of the canyon- even if you do not stay here check it out :)
