We had no clue that this gem was close to us we went for a quick weekend camp we were right next to the creek with amazing views of the mountains.

TravelerClosed, but with options
Campsites are closed due to mistreatment-- signs indicate too much partying, ATVs, and trash. Campsites are closed for wilderness restoration but parking/camping off the main road is possible. No services.
TravelerCreekside, remote
Some sites sit right on the creek. Sites are spread out along a dirt road, so many sites are secluded from neighbors. Both times we have visited we have cleaned up sites after previous visitors left trash everywhere. Seems to be a common problem, which is too bad because it is a pretty place and convenient to the large rock climbing area nearby.
