Natural Features and SceneryDense stands of quaking aspen and pine shade the campground, while open meadows of silver-green sagebrush and seasonal wildflowers spread across the surrounding slopes. Rock Creek flows nearby, clear enough for swimming and small-craft floating. The sun-facing position creates a mix of forest shade and meadow sunshine, with cool mountain breezes flowing down from higher peaks. During dry periods, ground conditions around picnic tables turn dusty. A tradeoff of the southern exposure.

Lodging & AccommodationsNo lodging or accommodations other than group camping are provided.
