NOTE: OHV off roaders, quads, dirt bike use is somewhat common around here. The main dirt road cuts right through the middle of this campground, so passing traffic noise is possible. Choose the meadow side of camp, and get back off the road a bit – for more seclusion and a better night sleep.
The small creek-side meadow is also the proper stargazing area. Bring lawn chairs or blankets and watch for wet soggy spots. Don’t drive on the meadow! Keep campfire low when watching for meteors.

LOCALS TIP: If this small campground is full or not quite far enough, then keep on driving, deeper into the woods – to reach NFS Deanes Valley Campground
