Learn more about alerts →Fall is the sweet spot here: golden aspens, migrating elk and mule deer passing through camp, and a real shot at having all 15 sites to yourself. Tent campers and self-contained RVs both work well if you bring your own water and download offline maps before you lose cell signal.
No potable water and a single vault toilet are the whole facility picture. Campers who need hookups, showers, or reliable cell coverage will find nothing here, and low-lying sites flood after rain, so arriving late without daylight to scout the loop is a gamble.
Availability, what to pack, similar spots — ask anything and get an instant answer.
Best season: fall. Fall showcases the campground's golden aspens and offers the clearest wildlife-viewing opportunities as elk and mule deer move through lower elevations; daytime highs are typically in the 40s–60s°F with crisp nights often dropping below freezing. Fewer summer crowds and the quieter trailheads make for intimate wildlife encounters and photography, though hunters may be active during parts of the season so awareness and blaze orange are recommended. Expect calm, dry weather windows interspersed by Peak months: September, October, August Avoid: December, January, February
Fall is cited as the best season for golden aspens and clear wildlife viewing.
The campground has 15 campsites on about 9 acres, one pull-through site, parking spurs, picnic tables, and fire rings/grills. There is a single vault toilet on site.
