Reservations are available for this large group campground in Caribou National Forest, accommodating up to 50 people with rates from $80-$120 per night. The site includes multiple restrooms, picnic tables, and a small cabin with a wood-burning stove, though most of the camping area lacks shade. RVs up to 65 feet can access the site, despite rough road conditions leading in.
A small creek runs through the area with valley walls rising on both sides. Campers can explore a nearby balancing rock formation and climb up for elevated views of the surrounding terrain. The Forest Service maintains drinking water, trash service, and allows campfires and pets during the May through October season. This setup works well for large family reunions or group gatherings that need substantial space and basic amenities.
