Notifications and Alerts
- Fire restrictions are currently in effect that prohibit charcoal fires, wood-burning camp stoves, and charcoal grills. Only gas or propane stoves are permitted.
Need to Know
Although all sites accomodate both equestrian and non-equestrian users, only visitors with stock animals are permitted in reservable sites. Visitors without stock animals are permitted only in walk-up sites, which are first-come first-serve.
Please use caution around horses in the campground--leash pets and avoid making loud noises or sudden movements.
In the non-peak season, the campground is entirely first-come first-serve and operated by the US Forest Service. During peak season, the campground is operated by concessionaire.
