Book This Park
Basic electric hookups make this workable for most RVs, though you'll rely on shared facilities for water and waste. 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.
