Camping in the colors of Fall

The fall colors are out today.  The ground vegetation was in reds and yellows, the aspen trees ran from summer green to fall yellow and then all the mature green firs trees made for a pretty site in the campground.  This campground had been closed for a few years for tree removal, but that had little affect on the forest at the campground, only a few sites were really impacted by tree removal as plenty of trees remain.  Each site has a picnic table and metal fire rings.  long parking areas are helpful as several sites had limited flat ground available for tents outside of the parking area and picnic table location.  Several very long pull through sites are available as well.  One vault toilet for the campground and the water pump just across the camp road from it.  No trash service.  Cost is $15 per night.  Campground also has the Skidway X-C Ski trail trailhead.
