Great camping spot with a nice downed tree area just past Campsite 6 (back toward Georgetown).
Buzzing is definitely mildly annoying, but once you get a crackling fire and warmth going, you're "dope" and should be "chill", ya heard?
Fee is $23 per night (as of 5/28/23) in exact change and you'll find the envelopes at the entrance.
Dumpsters for your trash, toilets, private areas, beautiful views, and nearby hikes.
Okay toilets. Metal in the men's shifts on you as you're taking your McDookie, but otherwise no mosquitos and toilet paper is restocked on the regular, ya heard πβοΈπ€π«°π€π€π«°π€πππ€π€βοΈπ€βοΈβοΈπ«΄βοΈπ€ππ¨π¦π¦ ahem... But also, stop peeing all the over the floor, BRO. Foreal???
Cars are also decently frequent, but again, crackling fire and good company drown out most noises.
Secret hint if you want a good amount of fire wood without buying: Just past campsite 6, there will be a pair of wires coming from the foresty area across the road to the power station, you can either be lucky and get campsite 6 and just walk to the woody area or park under those wires that cross the road and either pull huge logs out and hack them up at camp or hack them up at the source. It's work, but it's worth a continuous, raging fire for several days. We survived 3 rains and I was walking around in a t-shirt in 40 degrees. Or be cold. Your choice. Anyways. Enjoy the pics! I love you β€οΈ
Also, so many weird bird noises. This place is also probably a birder's intellectual, kinky bondage dungeon, but in a family-friendly, open forest kind of way :)...
Β Β Β Read moreHard to get a site here. Really a toss-up whether anything will be available. Ppl driving through here all the time looking for a site! If you can get a site, though, it's a decent little campground. Vault toilet and a manual water pump. Vault toilets are certainly nothing great, maybe on the "less good" side of not great? But they work, and the camp host keeps TP in stock.
One other minor annoyance is the constant buzzing from the power station a couple miles down the canyon. Not really loud, but audible.
In easy reach of a couple of waterfalls, the hike to Murray Lake (medium difficulty), Georgetown (nice little town), and probably other stuff too. The river is also within earshot at night, which is nice
The drive to get up to this campground from Georgetown is steep and treacherous in incliment weather,...
Β Β Β Read morePerfect secluded spot up in the Mountains. There are only 10 spots, first come first served, picnic tables, fire rings, vault toilets and a water spigot. Simple spot, but that's the type of camping I enjoy. The drive up is nice with the chance of seeing big horned sheep (we didn't see any unfortunately). Take the drive up to the summit for another amazing view or use the trails to go for a hike. Theres a creek that runs along the road which offers some nice pull off spots to get out for pictures. Camp caretaker said he spotted a moose the day before in a clearing up from the campsite, but we missed out on a sighting ourselves. Overall, I loved this spot and would definitely return for some simple, in some awesome...
