My husband and I spent the last 9 days in the southwest traveling around camping. I would have to say this spot was my favorite spot of all. The actual South Mineral Campground was full, but there are spots along the river the whole way and plenty of them. If you're ready for some quiet, primitive camping- this is it. Gear up, though because the weather can change with the snap of your fingers. I wore 2 pairs of socks, 2 jackets, sweats, my buff, my hood and a beanie + I was under 2 blankets IN AUGUST! You're surrounded by mountains, trees, and the beautiful sky. Best it's based at the Ice Lake Trail head!
