Elevation1955 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryPonderosa pines and Douglas firs shade the campground, which sits in a glacially carved valley where Icicle Creek flows clear over granite. The Stuart Mountain Range rises to the west, peaks still holding snowfields that feed the creek. At this elevation, the forest floor stays mostly open under mature conifers. Sites closest to the water (30-34, according to campers) offer direct creek views and access for fishing or wading. The surrounding landscape shows classic signs of glacial work: U-shaped valleys, polished bedrock, and meadows where ice once ground stone to powder.

Lodging & AccommodationsNo lodge accommodations are available; the site is purely designed for group camping.

Programs & ActivitiesNo details on cultural or educational programs.
