Book This Park
Electric hookups are available, though water and sewer are shared — a good balance of convenience and simplicity. Sitting at elevation brings cooler temperatures, thinner air, and the kind of sweeping views that make the drive worthwhile. Facilities are basic — bring what you need and expect a more self-sufficient camping experience.
