Adorable backup if Kinnikinnick is full

There are 2-3 fire rings to either side of the parking area at Elk Cove Trailhead. There are no amenities, though you can head one mile back down the road to the Kinnikinnick Campground, where there are restrooms, but no running water.

You'll have to carry your stuff a hundred yards or so to the fire rings.

This is a beautiful, secluded spot.
