About the campground
The elevation is 4,600 ft. The campground has three sections bisected by Rock Creek. A pleasant mixture of pine, cedar, and oak provide shade. Privacy between camp sites is minimal.

To the right is the campground's largest section with camp sites nearest the swimming holes and rock water slide. The parking aprons in this section are lower than roadway. Because of turn-around, travel trailers are not recommended in this section. The section to the left is composed of multi- family/double camp sites and accommodates any size RV.
