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 2026-08-24: GROUP site -- the posted figure buys a whole unit, not one pitch. McGill has two group campsites at $150.00 per site per night; Group Camp I holds up to 80 people and 10 vehicles, Group Camp II up to 60 people and 10 vehicles (an RV or towed trailer counts as one of the ten). Additional vehicles are $10 per night. For contrast, an ordinary family site in the same campground is $30, or $32 at weekends. The forest publishes this on the parent McGill Campground page, whose printed coordinate is 0.25 mi from our pin and whose text names both group camps.
