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.

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 2026-08-24: $23 to $27 per night for a standard or tent-only single site, depending on the week -- recreation.gov prices the 2026 season at $27 from May 15 to May 21 and $23 from May 22 to September 19. Double sites are $50 then $46; the group site is $115 throughout. The Gifford Pinchot publishes no campground page for La Wis Wis, so the rate is from the recreation.gov listing 0.001 mi from our pin; the Forest Service's own site record quotes the higher figures -- $27 single, $50 double, $115 group, $8 per vehicle per night for an additional vehicle.
