Open sunny group area

Bring your own shaded to this exposed small group area. The other two reviews on this site were about a diff campground entirely. This group area is $100 nite and has two small sites, limited shade. Vault toilet, dumpsters, and a hand pump water that looks to be hard iron stained. No cell signal. Note that Sheep Trail group area a couple miles away is a much much better camp, imo
