Clean and quiet place with a friendly host

The grounds were well kept and the host was friendly with information of the area. No camping fee dropbox as the host will make rounds to collect camping fees. Campground is approximately a mile from the east end of the town of Pitkin. In town, there is a very small general store with snacks, ice cream, some very basic supplies, and t-shirts.
