Natural Features and SceneryDense conifer forest surrounds the campground at 4,386 feet elevation on the western side of the Continental Divide. The Devil Creek Trail #167 departs from camp and leads into the Spotted Bear Wilderness. Highway 2 runs close enough that road noise carries through the trees, and a railroad line nearby adds frequent train sounds day and night. The forest canopy provides shade, and wildlife sightings are common.
