Campground The campground is brand new in 2008. The sites are basically in an open field with some small trees. There are highlines, fire rings and a picnic table for each site. The ground wasn't smoothed out before the camp was put in, so it is a pretty rough ride when parking the trailer, but with more use, that will fix itself. There are pit toilets at the trailhead, but it is a ways to walk. The highlines are new, but seem to have been designed by someone that doesn't use highlines...they are not very tall and only one horse long, but they are better than nothing. There is a hand pump for water also near the trailhead.
