Ask about this camp →U.S. Forest Service lists this as a developed campground. Expect marked sites, a fee station or a reservation, and the usual campground rules. The dispersed-camping freedom of the surrounding forest does not apply inside it. What changes is conditions — roads, gates, closures, fire rules. Check those with the unit before you commit to the drive.

How it was placed
Developed FEE campground (not free) - review | auto:usfs-fee 2026-08-20: US Forest Service developed campground, agency coordinates, agency states a fee. No dollar amount in the agency record -- expect a charge and confirm the current rate before you go. Not field-verified. | Fee 2026-08-26: $30 per site per day; +$12 per extra vehicle per day; dump station $16. recreation.gov listing 233346 agrees ($30 standard non-electric, season 15 May - 9 Sep 2026). The Forest Service recreation-sites dataset still carries an older $19 single / $24 double / $8 extra vehicle for this camp; the page and the booking system agree on $30, so the dataset is the stale one.
