Semi secluded forested camp

Probably a little over 1 mile to CG on gravel road. Washboard last pull up a hill. A few campers, but plenty of sites . But many sites said reserved through the 4th of July weekend. Clean pit toilet. Plenty of flowers blooming . There are two loops... We camped at site in-between the loops. $5 or $2.50 with senior type passes.

Secluded campground

Was headed south on hwy 191 and saw the sign for the campground. The road in is narrow and could be problematic if you cannot back up a ways to find a turnout to let others pass. Was the only one in the campground. Lots of birds and some deer.

Nice find well off the beaten path!

Decided to camp here at dusk one night. We were headed North of Price to Kamas and the Mirror Lake Byway when we decided to cut a few driving hours off the day and pull in. Very pleased with our choice. Campground was all but empty so we took our pick of good sites. Vaults were clean and sites were spacious. Very quite and peaceful! The perfect tent spot!
