The elevation is 8,100 ft. The campground, located in Logan Canyon, winds up a mountainside above Tony Grove Lake through stands of huge Engelmann spruce, fir and Aspen. While the camping sites are are tucked in under towering trees, meadows full of wildflowers dot the campground. The design and layout of the campground suggest Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) origin and will prove a challenge to large RVs. A narrow interior road, tight turns and road- hugging trees contribute to the negotiating problems faced by large RVs. The nearby Mt. Naomi Wilderness offers many hiking trails to explore. Cache National Forest 187 Tony Grove Lake is excellent for canoeing and fishing. The campground is pack it in, pack it out. Firewood is available for a fee. For more information about the campground and Logan Canyon, obtain the booklet: "A Scenic Guide to Logan Canyon," from the Logan Ranger District Office.

Summer, roughly July through September, is the most reliable window. Snow usually clears by early July, opening access to the lake and trails. Daytime highs run 60s to low 80s°F, with nights dropping into the mid-30s to mid-40s. The campground sees moderate use on summer weekends because sites are first-come, first-serve, but weekdays stay quiet. Early and late season bring snow and cold. One review mentions lingering snow berms into late May. The high elevation means crisp nights year-round and quick weather changes.
Summer (July–Sept) is the most reliable window; warm days, open access and lake activities.
