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.

Likely — The record is good enough to put a pin on, but thin in places. Treat the details as a starting point, not gospel.
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 2026-08-22: $170 per night for the whole GROUP site, which the forest says holds up to 120 people -- this is a group campground and there is no single-site rate. CAUTION FOR THE NEXT READER: the slug rules first landed on the neighbouring Hirz Bay Campground (the family loop, $28 single / $56 double), whose page sits 0.169 mi away and whose rate is NOT this site's; the correct page is hirz-bay-1-group-campground and its printed coordinates match this pin. recreation.gov 233096 (HIRZ BAY GROUP 1) books group standard non-electric at $170 for the 2026-04-01 to 2026-09-30 season.
