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 Tony Grove RS at 6,320 ft, less than a mile 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 2026-08-24: $23.99 per night for a standard non-electric site, for the current 2026-06-05 to 2026-09-06 peak season; the shoulder blocks either side (2026-05-08 to 06-04 and 2026-09-07 to 09-12) run first-come, first-served at $24.27. The Uinta-Wasatch-Cache page publishes no amount, and its reservation line is a year stale -- it still reads "Reservations: June 6 - September 1, 2025" on a page last updated May 13, 2026, so trust recreation.gov's dates over the forest page's.
