Nice spot to stay awhile

Quiet campground Mid May. Great site to stay awhile and bike in the Strawberry Range  topped with whip cream this time of year.

Big Creek was swollen with run off and grouse were busy with mating calls (flapping wings) from near by fallen logs.

Easy back-in sites for rv's, tables, fire pits, clean pit toilets. 

Nice biking trails if you want to explore.
