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.
