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.

Snow, and when this opens
The nearest automatic snow station is Ripple Creek at 10,340 ft, about 8 miles away. It sits about 2,580 ft higher than this camp, so treat it as a guide rather than a reading for this spot. 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 2026-08-21: $30 per night, single site, per the White River NF page (updated May 19 2026) and the forest's 2025 forest-wide campground table, which also flags that rates differ between weekdays and weekends here. recreation.gov charges $28 for the 2026 season (May 13 to Nov 1) -- likely the weekday tier. Our pin sits 0.001 mi from the coordinates the forest page prints and 0.80 mi from the recreation.gov facility point, so the forest page is the closer match. Budget $30.
