Awesome and remote! We loved it! It was super clean with only two other sites occupied in the middle of July! That is a rarity out west anymore. Truth is I should not be giving this a glowing review as I do not want it to attract to many people who will potentially mess it up.

The campground is also at one of the trail heads for Silver...
