Clean and quiet

We arrived late close to sunset with the campground closed and the camp host site vacant. A sign was posted that the campground was open Thursday through Monday but the yellow metal gate bar prevented us from utilizing it. We ended up overnighting in the day use area as it was dark by this time and not a soul around. Exploring the area in the morning, the campground was small, with 8 total camping sites. Sites 1 and 2 are perfect for two parties that want to be close together. Site 6 seemed like the best place for privacy.

Near Cold Creek, there is a very nice covered picnic area with two full tables and a fire pit. Another pit toilet is nearby.

Overall, this was a great location with paved roads most of the way in. The last few miles are hard packed dirt but well maintained. There are trails to explore but we didn’t get a chance to try them.
