ATV riders, mountain bikers, and anglers heading to Big Cottonwood Creek will get the most from this place in July or August, once it reopens. Free, first-come sites at 7,287 feet with access to high lakes and ridge trails is a legitimate deal if you bring all your own water.
The campground is closed right now due to fire damage, with no reopening date posted. Even in a normal season, no potable water and a long, dusty dirt road rule this out for anyone without a capable vehicle and a full water supply.
