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 2026-08-26: $16 per night, single site; group sites (equestrian and standard) $75 per night for 1-50 people and $150 for 51-150. No live forest recreation page exists for this site - every slug returns 404 - so this comes from recreation.gov 272097, which lists $16 for a standard non-electric site for all of 2026. The group tiers come from the Forest Service EDW record, which agrees on the $16.
