GuideCool and Quiet
This is a wonderful Forest Service campground. At a little over 9,000 feet elevation it cooled off nicely in July. Only a few sites occupied so it was very quiet. Standard Forest Service toilets were clean. No cell service but that was OK with me.
GuideBasic, quiet, clean.
The campground is a set of about three dozen sites in a ponderosa stand. $10 a night. Just off the road with a slight degree of noise from it. The road isn't particularly busy at night so it really isn't an issue.
No AT&T cell service in the campground proper but the hill just beyond the cattleguard in the entrance gets full bars.
The restrooms were acceptably clean and blissfully bug free in late May. I was expecting more people given I stayed here on Friday during Memorial Weekend but only 4 spots were occupied.
The best spots seem to be #7 thru #15.
GuideEasy access
