Red Shale Campground & Geocache Site
Reviewed May. 26, 2021

So quiet and pretty!

What a gem of a campground (in my opinion). There are two loops, each loop having 6-7 sites and it’s own vault toilet. I camped in both loops while the loop to the right is more preferred due to being further from highway noise and the views! Each site has plenty is space. A long picnic table, nice fire ring with grate and gravel drive to back in. There are no pull thru sites. No trash, electric or water so come prepared and pack out your trash. Had a sheriff drive through a couple mornings then the NFS came to clean out the trash people left in the fire pits. Arrived on a Saturday, one loop was full, the other empty. Sunday evening, a little more traffic but still at least 5 spots open. You can stay up to 10 days (free). There isn’t much to do in the area but it is peaceful and relaxing. Ashland doesn’t have much of a grocery store (small merch for smaller hauls) so come stocked with all the food you need. Definitely would stay here again! Had 2-3 bars LTE via AT&T and could work with no issues.
