You’ll find this campground tucked into the trees along Forest Road. There are 30 standard, non-electric RV sites, but for real peace and quiet, choose one of the 12 walk-up sites.

Each campsite has gravel and a fire pit. You can purchase firewood onsite, and you can also access vault toilets. Drinking water is also available. These sites are rustic, but you’ll find yourself surrounded by the most incredible beauty in the state.
