Natural Features and SceneryThe Cub River runs through the campground, creating a green corridor between rugged mountain terrain. Cottonwood trees shade most sites and turn golden in autumn. The river provides a constant soundtrack and fishing opportunities, though spring snowmelt can swell it into something more powerful. Wildlife stops by the water's edge to drink. At 6,000 feet, the elevation keeps temperatures moderate and the air crisp.

Site SizeSites are described as fairly small, with some suitable for tent camping but less accommodating for trailers. "Site 5, listed max length as 25 ft. We couldn't even get our 15 ft trailer in to the site," and "Site 7 has a small gravel pad that will fit a small trailer no longer than 20 ft overall.

PrivacySites are noted to be well-spaced and secluded: "Sites are right on the river and tucked into the woods so you’re not on top of your neighbor!

Total Campsites9 campsites

Recommended SitesFor families with small children, site 7 is recommended due to its distance from the river. Site 2 is praised for privacy but has muddy approaches during rain.

Best CampsitesSite 2 gets praise for river proximity and privacy. Avoid site 5, which floods regularly and can't fit trailers despite a listed 25-foot max length.
