Ask an AI about this campsiteOpens Grok already loaded with this site. It reads the same records this page is built from, and links whatever it tells you.
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.

No dollar amount in the agency record -- expect a charge and confirm the current rate before you go. Not field-verified. | Fee 2026-08-22: GROUP SITE, $149 per night, rising to $159 on holidays. recreation.gov 231966 (BOULDER GROUP CAMP, its own pin 0.105 mi from ours) books $149 for a group tent-only non-electric area for the 2026-04-17 to 2026-10-03 season, confirming the base figure; the $159 holiday rate comes from the forest page alone.
