$5 per night with the National Parks Access Pass. Vault toilets, non-potable water, autumn leaves falling, no one camped nearby for 4 nights-perfect!

Wonderful place to wander around. Main trail is in decent shape; blue trail is not. I'd say trails are intermediate unless you have a horse.

This is a hidden gem. Self pay very straightforward, pretty empty during the week, a comfortable amount of people during the weekend, I was able to get a campsite pulling in at 8:30 pm on a Friday. The campsites are large, there is a vaulted bathroom stocked with tissue. Great camping spot, “primitive” or “dispersed camping “ is free outside of the fee area and away from the water. No showers, no drinking water must bring your own.

Absolutely fantastic campground. Facilities are great tons of room for activities and really cool stuff just a short drive away. There was literally only one campsite taken up from each loop laborday weekend. The double sites are huge! If you tend to be a tiny bit loud/party when you go camping this is the spot. Highly recommend kinkaid spillway as an activity. Beautiful waterfalls and swimming area about 15 min away. No potable water so be prepared and dumpster at front, so no reason to leave any trash behind.

Nice out of the way place for tent camping. We love hiking the trail that leads to the creek.
