Rugged and rough

Not much of a campground as far as campsites are concerned, a cattle pen and staging area are nearby. There was a picnic table and fire ring back in the trees. It's a great place for isolation, we encountered a couple hunters scouting the area. If you are going in winter the shade from the canyon starts at 3pm and the temperature drops real fast once you are in the shade. There is no water or toilets and zero cell reception.

SiteFound a fire pit and table didn't see any others.
