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.

Snow, and when this opens
The nearest automatic snow station is Red Pine Ridge at 8,990 ft, about 2 miles away. That is about the height of this camp, so it is a fair proxy. We do not repeat a depth here, because any number we stored would be stale by the time you read it — the station publishes today's.

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: this is a GROUP campground priced by party size: $30 per night for a group of 30, $40 for 50, $50 for 70. If the group sites are not reserved they open to anyone first-come first-served at $3 per vehicle per night -- note that is per VEHICLE, not per site. The Manti-La Sal page and recreation.gov agree on $30/$40/$50 for the current 2026-05-22 to 2026-10-04 season; the top of the recreation.gov listing advertises a starting price of $20.00, which nothing else supports -- ignore it.
