A nice campground in amongst Aspen and Fir. Most of the campsites here
are across the stream from the road, reducing the road noise somewhat.

The campground:
 | This campground has tall trees (Aspen, Fir, Cottonwoods), chokecherries (with berries 8/11/00), clematis, thimbleberry, and lots of wild roses. The tall trees provide lots of shade to many of the campsites. The road is not far away, so road noise may be a problem. Site 11, at the end of the campground appears to be the nicest. Site 8 is also nice. The photo here is of campsite 4. |
