Basic electric hookups make this workable for most RVs, though you'll rely on shared facilities for water and waste. Mountain surroundings keep things cool in summer and provide a dramatic backdrop throughout your stay. Facilities are basic — bring what you need and expect a more self-sufficient camping experience.
