This is a review for the Campground, which costs to stay at. Currently the price is $20 per night and $10 per extra vehicle. A cash or check self-pay dropbox is available at the entrance. Firewood available for $6 a bundle at the host site. 10 sites total, there is a map at the entrance to show the sites. There is dispersed camping along the access road for free, and a separate Dyrt entry for that type of camping.
The campground is about 3 miles off of paved road. The first 2/3rds of the dirt road was great, last little bit might get tricky after a rain. I can see this campground becoming muddy. With that said, my fwd vehicle made it with no issues. No electric or water hookups, but there is public drinking water and toilets. Cell service is 0-1 bar of 4G on Verizon on a good day, don't plan on having service. It's a no outlet loop road so there is some quiet traffic that ends at night, I saw about a dozen vehicles an hour on average during a beautiful Friday afternoon.
As other reviews have pointed out, this is a great location for kids to explore and enjoy nature. A short hike quickly gets you away from any noise. The snow-covered mountains in the backdrop are truly stunning. The sites are mostly shaded and uneven, but there is a decent variation to choose from. There were 3 sites available mid-afternoon on Friday.
Due to how easy it is to access, everyone should have this campground (or the dispersed camping along the road) on their to-visit list!
