Book This Park
Sites are dry camping only, so come with a full tank and plan accordingly — the trade-off is a quieter, more natural experience. 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.
